About this audiobook

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...

Ratings and reviews

The writing wasn't great and there are some inconsistencies in the characters and their philosophies, but I had fun with the plot and universe. I wasn't a big fan of the ending.

I came across this book by accident and I couldn't be happier with it, I even got two other people to by it. I have read all 6 and can't wait for the rest of them. Thank you for being the wonderful writer you are.......

very upset,spent close to 60 bucks buying up to book 6 and it just ends on audio until way later, if they are not ready why are we charged so much? I won't ever buy another Kyle west book, I feel robbed. yes ebook is available but I can't read at work only listen. other than that it was one of my favs.
