Publisher's Summary

Against all odds, a defiant street rat takes on a ruthless empire.

Pax, a cunning street rat without a class, navigates life in a city constantly threatened by monstrous beast waves. He's dedicated to keeping his crew safe and fed, especially after his family vanished without a trace. But when his best friend is captured, Pax risks it all—even his freedom—on the eve of the Awakening.

Caught and thrust into the Astan Empire's war machine, Pax must adapt to survive the perils of the empire's elite mage academy. While struggling to harness the forbidden magic surging within him, he must avoid the attention of corrupt leaders determined to snuff out any hint of rebellion and maintain their iron grip on power.

With ancient secrets, and long-lost spells at stake, can Pax triumph against his foes, defeat fearsome monsters, and secure a future for himself and his crew?

Love a different aspect of the genre not often used .

Like most that enjoys audiobooks, I have read many books in the progression fantasy gene.

I enjoyed the decision that the author chose to make the power harder to attain, and that the world recognises the skills you can already do and not a purchase from a system that chooses who is worthy.

Because of this the characters are required to use cunning and tactics they have learnt through their difficult upbringing to face their challenges and made me want to know what pax would get up to next.

For people who like this book I will also Recommend The Mark of the Fool series.


I highly recommend the shield wall academy series to those who like the underdog fighting for power in a world were their progress is not a given and death or worse is around the corner.
