Publisher's summary

A hideous beast with glowing red eyes ambushes Bryn on his way home through the forest.

After a narrow escape, the sixteen-year-old must flee with his foster father Gerald to the only place that promises safety: Âlaburg University, where humans, dwarves, elves, and orcs come together to study the colors of magic.

Bryn soon discovers he can use all three magical colors, which renders him powerful and dangerous at the same time. Will he learn to channel his powers with the help of his unlikely new friends and secure peace for the land, or will he become the one who spells out doom for the enlightened nations of Razuclan?

An enjoyable, low stress listen

It was a really enjoyable listen I would best describe as the earlier Harry Potter stories meets The Name of the Wind. It's interesting and enjoyable without the extra stress of unnecessarily high stakes. I look forward to starting the next book.

What a cool fantasy world!

Five stars across the board because of the way it sucked me in. It sounds cliche, but this book has it all—adventure, romance, fantasy, battles, magic. I’d definitely recommend it for any fans of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. It mixes the magic of the Potter world with the epic adventure vibe of Tolkien works. And of course Keating knocked it out of the park with his narration. The characters simply came alive. Can’t wait for the next one.

Narrator is awful. I can’t finish it.

The story is so predictable and tedious. The narrator is impossible to listen to. He chops up sentences and when he adds onto the sentences things like “he said” or he thought”, etc the inflection is completely wrong and it sounds weird and disjointed like an afterthought which it’s not. It should just be a continuation of what he just said. Maybe if there was a different narrator this would be an ok book but I can’t even finish it, it’s so irritating.
