About this listen

The Wizard's Council of Tarador was supposed to tell young Koren Bladewell that he is a wizard. They were supposed to tell everyone that he is not a jinx, that all the bad things that happen around him are because he can't control the power inside him, power he doesn't know about. The people of his village, even his parents, are afraid of him, afraid he is cursed. That he is a dangerous, evil jinx. The Wizard's Council didn't tell young Koren, because they know what is best for him. Even after their silent deception destroys his life.

Crown Princess Ariana Trehayme will become queen of Tarador on her 16th birthday, if her weak, indecisive mother the Regent hasn't allowed their ancient enemy to conquer Tarador before then. Ariana wants her royal army to strike at the enemy, but her mother knows what is best for her, and the realm.Together, Ariana and Koren can save Tarador, if the adults, who know best, will get out of their way.

As a first time user of this app i thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narration was good, it kept me engaged throughout. The story had some cliche areas but was still able to bring fresh content to the story and keep it interesting. I would reccomend for those who enjoy fantasy/magic and era's set in kings and queens and also for a first Audible book if your looking for Fiction.

Great book for first time Audible user

The book is delivered very well. I enjoyed the story, though it is a bit repetitive at times, but I assume it's aimed at a younger audience.

Easy listen, perhaps better for teens
