About this listen
For centuries, Xoran has been without magic or magical creatures. Humans are the dominant species and have almost forgotten that magic ever existed in their world. Xoran is a world that was ripped apart by the Old Gods and now after several centuries, is coming together again. Monsters and demons attack the peaceful people of Kronos without warning as the Age of Magic begins again.
An ancient witch is freed from her prison and is bent on destroying the works of the Old Gods and bringing Chaos back to the world. Her demon minion becomes the figurehead of a religion based on murder and conquest. The followers of Quell take what they want and no crime is too heinous to commit in the name of their false god.
With magic coming back to Xoran, those with a gift for magic are now able to channel their powers and rise up to defend their fellow man. Powerful mages team up with soldiers and knights to fight the Quell and bring back the rule of Law. A simple sellsword rises up to become a hero, and the kings of Kronos band together to defeat the demon and his followers.

Ward is a crumb who has a particular skill for tracking and dealing with animals. He never knew why. He just always felt at home in the forest, away from the bustle of Alcorn. This was partly because he loved to track and trap wild game, and partly because it meant he wouldn’t be harassed and beaten by the noble born kids his age.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Two astronomers have detected a strange, pulsing signal from deep space. Within hours, the US government goes into lockdown, restricting airspace and scrubbing scientific data. Was the signal an intercepted communication revealing alarming plans for an enemy’s military strike? Or has humanity at long last found proof of extraterrestrial life?

Captivating Tale
This is a captivating tale. The audiobook masterfully portrays a world torn by the Old Gods and now on the brink of chaos due to the return of magic. The narration brings to life the ancient witch's vengeful quest, adding depth to her demon minion's rise as a sinister religious figurehead. The emergence of magic-users and their alliance with knights and soldiers against the Quell is thrilling. Particularly impressive is the transformation of a mere sellsword into a hero, alongside the unity of Kronos's kings. A splendid blend of fantasy and adventure, perfect for fans of epic battles and magical intrigue.

Great read, religious references may not be for everyone.
As a lover of fantasy works, I was pleasantly surprised with this story. The characters are strong and determined even when facing adversity, dealing with problems with such creativity that it left me smiling. The work is well written and the story flows nicely. A lot of the religious undertones are eerily similar to those of Christianity, so if you’re easily offended by this religion’s past (or believe that past to be false), you may have some issues… or need to do some self-reflecting. I’m curious to see how the twins progress with their powers, as it seems like there are great things in store for their future, now that their mentor is gone and they must face the witch in the without him. I received the audible version for free, and in the beginning I wasn’t sure I was ok with the narrator’s portrayal of female voices, but their overall performance had me hooked, and I’m glad I stayed.

Took me to a different world
Loved stepping into a different world in this book. Loved the idea of returning to the Age of Magic.
