About this listen

Simon can only watch, helpless, as his family is killed and his friends captured by enemy Travelers—men and women who can summon mystical powers from otherworldly Territories. To top it off, another young man from Simon's village discovers that he's a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm.

Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he'll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord. It may not be his destiny, but Simon's determined to rescue his fellow villagers from certain death.

Because who cares about prophecy, really?

Interesting concept, good story and I liked that it followed the story of the secondary character. The high fantasy elements worked well and the consequences of powers worked well in the story.

Enjoyable high fantasy

At first, I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. I enjoy more world building type books. By the end of the 3 book series, I loved it. It's a shame that there isn't more to read as I would love to know more about the world and each territory. I definitely think another trilogy would be possible and well deserved as there is still so much more that could be showcased.

excellent series
