Mark of the Fool 10

A Progression Fantasy Epic

By: J.M. Clarke

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

After gaining epic power and knowledge, Alex Roth will confront Uldar’s legacy and face the Ravener once and for all.

A cycle of victory and horror: the pride of the Kingdom of Thameland.

That is the Ravener’s cycle.

Over years of study, Alex Roth is finally an archwizard, has overcome the Mark of the Fool, and empowered his friends and companions. Yet their foe is the mightiest they have faced yet: the Ravener itself, now freed from thousands of years of chains and returned to its full strength.

Alex will need to call on all his magic, all his bonds, his wits, his strategy and his resources to not only destroy the Ravener, but to shatter the cycle that has chained his kingdom since time immemorial.

And Alex plans to destroy the hell out of it.

The epic finale of the Best-Selling series. Finish your fantastical journey into a coming-of-age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, deepening mystery, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.

cheesey ending

I have read and listen to this seriess and love every bit of it the ending will always be cheesy and that makes me happy. but a question for you. will you make a carton show or a animation movie of this series? ps don't reply keep it as a secret untill you decide to share ;)

Stuck the landing. Well done and thanks J. M. Clarke. I need more!

Very good end to ine of the best series in the genre. Great story and great narration by Travis Baldree. Sad to see it end, but happy to have experienced it.

Now, please, don't let these characters end here! While a great story as is, Clarke has inadvertently created the best prologue/origin story I could have imagined. There's so much left to do here with these characters. I'd love to read a sequel story about Alex and the crew finding their ways in the world. Like the story said, they're immortal and this is only the start if the many lives they'll lead... I want to see more of their adventures, interactions and eventual exploration of the wider cosmos in the centuries to come. Would be a real shame to let this be the last we get to see if them.

Fantastic as always

I loved every bit of the final book. I’m getting ready to read the author’s other book, too. I will listen to this series again in another few years.

Sorry to see it end but wonderful series

Loved it throughout, well done with depth, smart , great cast of characters, should be in everyone’s library

Brilliant Series

A beautiful adventure woven together impeccably. Top marks. It's a shame it's over, but what a well wrote story.
