Publisher's summary

Before wizards, the races of magic held the power...
and enslaved humans.

Ian and Vic are brothers. Their lives are simple, and while they might long for excitement, happiness can be found in a hard day's work, a sunny day, or the smile from a pretty girl.

Their lives are turned on end when their village is attacked and they are taken as slaves, destined to labor under the watchful eye of their captors.

The strife that had long dominated much of the world had found them.

Things would never be the same.

Listen and discover how the first wizard came to be.

From international bestselling author Jeffrey L. Kohanek comes a fantasy epic filled with twists, magic, and discovery, certain to keep you enthralled and repeatedly saying "just one more chapter."

Slow but brilliant

Have to say Pavi is one of the best narrators of this genera of LitRPG and epics, his tonal range and voice changes are epic.
Keep up the good work!!

The story is amazing, it is a wee bit slow but the world building and the involvement of the characters is top notch. Can’t wait for the second book to see where they go and how they progress!
Way worth the credit!

A fun story that continues to grow

A well written story that has some fun twists and turns. The performance seems a little rushed during the prolog, but becomes a comfortable story to listen to after that. The author has created some original twists, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. I recommend listening to it.

Great 1st book

I really enjoyed the process and journey. The story evolved well. Some of the situations seemed forced. Like of course there is a prison break…. But it was good. I enjoyed the story and narration

Great Book

This story really grabs the reader and drags them into it from the start. Very well written, and the narrator did the characters justice. The ending came too soon. What happens next! This reader is anxiously awaiting the next installment.
