Shadow Magic

Darkling Mage, Book 1

By: Nazri Noor

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

The gods are dying. But for one man, death is only the beginning.

Murdered as a ritual sacrifice, amateur thief and professional charmer Dustin Graves mysteriously survives, finding himself gifted with strange, dark magic. Then more dead bodies turn up. Some are human, but one is a god of the old world, slain at his own doorstep.

Mortal or divine, the bloodshed must end, and Dust is the mage for the job. But first he must contend with a succubus, a talking sword, a spider queen, a goddess of magic, and eldritch abominations from beyond the stars. No big deal...right?

If you like snarky heroes, snappy dialogue, and a bit of grit and gore, you'll love the first standalone audiobook in Nazri Noor's series of urban fantasy novels. Explore the Darkling Mage universe and discover a taste of Shadow Magic today.

more please

what Harry Dresden might have been like as a young man in different circumstances. I enjoyed the narration and look forward to more.

Great story, great characters, interesting world.

I don't know if my expectations were just low going in but man what a great book this was. Story starts off at a fast pace. Love the main guy (though a bit frustrating how dim witted he can be at times). And of course Luke Daniels kills it without fail. You can't beat him.

Very well done

Great start to a new series. Hesitated when I first saw it but was very much proved wrong. The MC is very well done and proves to be someone capable of carrying the story forward. Luke Daniels does a fantastic job of bringing this world to life. I received a free copy of this audio in exchange for an unbiased review.

outstanding

absolutely fantastic! can listen to this book several times and not get bored at all!!!

Luke Davis does it again

Luke always brings good stories to life.

I think my greatest disappointment with the story is that there was only one book of the series on audible.

There is a small section of muddled storytelling when the character whiplashes us with distrust followed by trust of one group and then another. I suspect these changes of heart were justified in the author’s head, but was a little difficult to get through. Otherwise, the story was fun and enjoyable. The villain’s motives become clear, but feel incomprehensible when you first meet the perpetrator.
