Publisher's Summary

Strong-willed and full of hope, Leo strives to learn more of the magic he has read so much about. He's heard of invisible links in his world, and hidden rifts to other realms filled with creatures and stones of power. But Leo's family is stuck in an impoverished city. He performs backbreaking farm work beside his older brother, a rebellious and cunning thief, but nonetheless a brother whom Leo would trust with his life. Their father takes care of them as best he can, but a dangerous secret has weighed heavily on him for years. He won't be able to keep it hidden much longer.

Leo believes everything will change for the better when he begins work as a bookbinder and finally leaves the dreadful farm. He can apply for apprenticeship to the Bookbinding Guild upon his soon-approaching birthday.

Everything will change, but in ways their family would never expect. It all begins when Leo's brother steals something that he should've left alone.

My favourite audible

The details, the story, the characters, I fell in love with it all. I could picture everything, I don’t know what to do now that I have finished the series. I think I will listen again. It has been so long since I have been pulled in to a book like being in another world.
Simon reads this in such a captivating way, I found myself looking for any moment during the day to get back to listening. Thank you for such a great story.

Careful world building

This book is slow, the world building is careful, the author writes clearly for each character’s unique opinions and understanding of the world.
It is well paced! Definitely a good book if you’re currently unsure of what to read

Best included book so far

I downloaded this by accident but I was hooked as soon as I started listening. Great classic fantasy with believable characters and motivations. I will be listening to the whole series. Better than most of the books I've paid credits for lately. The performance is not amazing but very listenable, it doesn't get in the way of the story.

development of character, and progression of story

wide range of character development and interludes that gave background and development of overall story. Also narrators style very pleasant to listen to, giving great individual characters distinct voice

Good start to an epic journey

Lots of potential for an epic adventure on at least three fronts. The author sets up your understanding of the world they created in this first novel, which gives you a taste and promise of the further adventures of our protagonists. Audiobook has some interesting accent choices but otherwise a solid listen.

Excellent YA and adults

While it has some gore, and mild sexual refreneces the story is suitable for a teen who enjoys adventure and magic, from about aged 13 years. Nice writing example of the starting elements of a hero's journey cycle.

Excellent world building!

A captivating story, with excellent world building and solid character development. Though I do hate a cliff hanger ending.
