Publisher's Summary
**A note of warning from the author;
I waited until the book was finished before writing this foreword. Now I find it difficult to encapsulate the book in a short summary, but I felt the need to forewarn you, The Reader. Many of you have probably read my previous series, Mageborn, which is set two millennia after the events in this book, so you may have some misconceptions about what you’ll find here.
Unlike Mageborn, this story encounters more adult issues. The main character does not always do the ‘right’ thing, and in fact, cannot be called a hero. Events conspire to darken his future and twist his morality, but his choices are his own. Most importantly, the story delves into some topics of a sensitive nature, particularly sexual abuse and violence, though there is nothing graphic in the telling.
I didn’t set out to write a book about those things, but they came up as part of the course of this tale, and I couldn’t avoid them. Before allowing some of the situations in this book, before writing them, I sought advice from a number of friends; people who have confided in me over the years. Several of them have been through experiences that correlate to a surprising degree with some of the darker elements within this tale.
Fortunately, they had much better outcomes, and in fact, I doubt any of them would condone the choices that the main character in this story makes. My main purpose in writing this foreword is to make sure that my audience understands that I don’t take the subject matter lightly.

Brilliant
Got me hooked from the first chapter. Story is great with a mixture of future and ancient concept of physics and magic.

Dark and Beautiful. Crazy Good.
Loved it. Daniel's world is a complex one and definitely not what it first seems. it's a mix of the loss of innocence, tragedy, horror and oppression. Never saw it coming. It's so real though, and so raw, that's it's terribly addictable.

Gripping
The story kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, I couldn't stop listing. I was fully pulled into the life , world and emotions of the characters. I would definitely recommend this audio book.

What the
Really disappointing after listening to the Magicians apprentice. I don’t understand how this book manages to be disturbing and boring at the same time. Cannot go on.
