Summary
A mage's fate is worse than death...

Lucian dreams of a new life outside the cesspool of Earth. Unfortunately, his wish comes true when the government identifies him as a mage.

No one knows why the mages are being born. No one knows why their powers lead to madness and death in a terrifying disease known as 'the fraying'. The only solution is to quarantine the mages in academies.

When Lucian is exiled from Earth, he must travel to the distant world of Volsung to receive training. During the long passage, he meets a mysterious mage. She prophesies he is marked by the Manifold, the reality that is the source of all magic. It is a destiny that requires him to master abilities he never imagined he possessed.

But that's the last thing he wants. He faces a terrible choice. To accept his new reality as a mage. Or, to try and outrun destiny...

I would like to start off saying THANK YOU... I have been Looking for a audiobook that would completely rap me up and this series did just that. I ended up buying the series. Now I can't wait for the next book. The narrator did a fabulous job with all the characters. The story line kept me interested the whole time. Great job.. I can't wait for more.

Amazing book

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2026

honestly was kind of sad about this one i felt like there was potential but nothing really happened I waited the entire book for something and it was just boring the entire time.

Profile Avatar potatoman Mar 2026

good storyline, there were lots of twists in the storyamnd I would highly recommend to people who are interested in SciFi stories. Narrator was really good, but made a couple of mistakes. Really good book overall!

the story is amazing

Profile Avatar Kathrine Sep 2025

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book. the story has me wanting to hear more and I shall now go and find the second book.The narrator is good, except he always slows his speech down when he reads women, but I suppose it is better than trying to raise the pitch of his voice. Generally his cadence is favourable to my ear. I listened whilst driving to and from work each day and the story and voice are a welcome change from the news.

good story

Profile Avatar Thomas T. Jul 2025

This was a free selection for me. At that price it is worth it. If you do not mind the main character being the dumbest person in the room who constantly sticks his foot in his mouth socially then it is fine. Personally, I like the main character to be the smartest person in the room. Being ignorant is fine and expected, being an idiot is not. To many people this would not be an issue but for me it is a deal breaker to the point where I will not purchase anything else from this author sadly.Narrator is pretty good. Had to speed it up to 1.1 though.

awesome book. can't wait to keep the story going

Profile Avatar Tony M. May 2025

Very good book I’m hooked

Profile Avatar Clive M. Mar 2025

This is really really good. Narrator is OK.

Profile Avatar Anthony F. Feb 2025

I really very truly cannot praise this series enough. I finished all 10 audio books of this series recently and to sum up my experience in a word, WORTH!!! to offer more words, it's a grand adventure that I shan't spoil but the series as a whole delivers and each book builds so well. if this series had a tech bro resume it check all the boxes!creative storytelling? check!dynamic characters? super check!captivating plot lines? super mega ultra check!and that's just the author y'all the narrator (over 10 books, I'll repeat) is so consistent in his vocals and character voices and he develops them so well as the character arcs emerge and do their thing. the man is solid!if you like sci-fi, and a truly original take on magic systems as a whole you absolutely must make your way through the whole series.

thumbs up!

Interesting storyline

Profile Avatar Carol B. Mar 2024

My first in this series with this author. A VERY good listen! I enjoyed the narrator and the narration. I am looking forward to the next audio in the series.

Profile Avatar Syndric Sep 2023

In my opinion I thought this book was fantastic, and can easily see it becoming a film series. It does have a few dry spots but that does not take away from how good the story is. The narrator did an amazing job as well with capturing all the characters.

Profile Avatar David J. Aug 2023

gripping from the start.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2023

Honestly don't know how this is free, but if you haven't listend to this yet, you should definitely change that!

Profile Avatar Brian Jun 2023

A very good introductory to a great saga. In my opinion, the only downside is there is too much descriptive and repetitive detail, otherwise a very good beginning.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2023

Felt like a fresh take on mages and their history.

Profile Avatar Sierra C. Apr 2023

Frankly, I did not finish the book. The characters had a very immature feel. The events were predictable. I thought the main character's thoughts and actions towards his mom were bratty and not personally addressed. The budding romance was emotionally stale. I was not invested at all. and honestly I'm a little tired of reading books from authors who clearly have some grudge against Christians and go on and on about it in their books. I read fantasy/sci-fi to escape reality, not listen to authors air their ideas about religious people all being bug-eyed, hateful Shaker Karens.

Profile Avatar lasseeg Apr 2023

Fantastic series, started this one like 3 weeks ago, on book 8 now. Superb narrator as well, easy listen.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2023

A very good book I didn’t know what to expect from this book but will start reading the series

Profile Avatar Caseyja88 Mar 2023

This was a great book. When it started off I wasn’t sure. After it got going now I’m addicted. I cant wait to continue this series. A very new way to look at scifi and magic. Good stuff

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2023

This is by far the best book I’ve listened to. All time favorite! Can’t wait to hear the rest

Profile Avatar Tamara R. Mar 2023

Surprised to find I enjoyed this very much, and promptly went for Book 2! Narration was very good!

Profile Avatar DutchThePyro Feb 2023

I normally don't like the mix of magic and Sci-fi though this book impressed me. I enjoyed it and look forward to listening to the others. I liked the narrator i wasn't bored compared to others I have listened to.

Profile Avatar Kira Feb 2023

Surprisingly good read. I picked this free title up as a fill in read before my next credit is ready. I will continue to read the Starsea series. Interesting storyline with interesting characters and worlds.
