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?

Excellent narration and good debut book
I'm a fan of Will's Cradle series. I love Travis' narration even more. So much so that I listen to his voice before sleep. Imagine my surprise when it was announced that the series will re-recorded with Travis. It is excellent as always.
The book is good. I've tried to read the first chapters 2-3 times some years ago. It didn't grasp my attention long. The book has a good plot for a first novel and I like the characters. The magic system could've been explained better. I understand it is kept vague on purpose.
In fact I listened to the other two books in succession. They're good as well but not something I will eagerly go back and listen.
Book 3 ends at a good spot but the closing chapters could've been done better. Overall, I recommend this series.

A spectacular start to a series
I liked the performance of Travis and love the story. Even though it's am older story compared to Will's other stuff, it's still just as great and I regret not reading it earlier.
