William Wilde and the Necrosed

By: Davis Ashura

Narrated by: Nick Podehl

A riveting tale of magic, mystery, and adventure, The Chronicles of William Wilde will thrill listeners who loved The Summoner Trilogy and The Maze Runner.

On a cold winter's night, just shy of his 17th birthday, William Wilde became an orphan. It was a simple car accident that claimed the lives of his family.

Eight months later, at the start of his senior year of high school, a beautiful, mysterious girl enters William's life. Captivating and confident, she holds secrets about William's heritage, secrets of which he himself is unaware: rare magic flows in William's veins.

And watching William from afar is Kohl Obsidian, a monstrous, undead horror. He won't rest until the tragedy he started eight months ago culminates with William's death.

William's life hangs in the balance, and he must discover a means to vanquish a creature that has never been defeated.

Enter a mystical world where heroes are forged from the unlikeliest of metals.

Good story

Good story and I always enjoy this narrator. I bought the next couple of books.

Imaginative and gripping

Looking forward to the next book - this is clearly linked to Davis Ashura’s previous series Castes and Outcastes, and in the best possible way. I enjoyed discovering that some of the characters are (perhaps?) reincarnated but not always in the same roles....for now? Fantastic use of storytelling to keep the listener engaged and it has great similarities to Stranger Things with the fact it’s set in 1980s middle America and is full of unknowns that the main characters slowly discover. Can’t wait for book 2!

Such a great story!

I saw a comparison review that this was like maze runner to be honest I see them differently this story has such a great lore behind it that you just get pulled into the story I enjoyed every part of it and how everything came together I’m starting book 2 immediately and can’t wait.

One kinda major issue

I've read several books from Davis and I didn't notice this as much with the others but with this one, it was annoying to no end. Especially at the start of the book.

The use of "she said", "he said", "he questioned", "she exclaimed" after every comment almost drove me to fast forward past the chapter. I love the world that Davis has created though, and Nick always does a fantastic job narrating, that I stuck with it and I can honestly say I enjoyed the book.

I'll be listening to book #2 for sure.

Great Coming of Age Story

The story kept an excellent flow and the narrator made each character come alive. I’m excited to keep listening to more.
