Publisher's Summary

The Hollow is dying.

Beset by nightmarish creatures from the caverns below, Jason’s tribe is slowly being whittled away. Only a brave few still stand against the darkness.

Jason dreams of joining the glorious Shadowfront and battling the enemy known only as the Void. But, as a lowly Pastfinder, he is denied that path and forced to serve as little more than a glorified scavenger.

It is only when he chances upon the ruins of a long dead civilization that his fortunes change. Jason discovers a forgotten form of cultivation, one fueled by the ghosts of centuries-lost history and powerful, forbidden knowledge.

For the first time in his life, Jason has the strength to join the fight against the shadows.

But, if his fellow tribesmen learn of his new power's cursed origins, the Void will be the least of his concerns....

Inspired by the worlds of Xianxia and Wuxia, Julian Gyll brings a fresh, western fantasy take on the burgeoning cultivation genre.

Terrific book

This has been a really enjoyable listen, its full of really likeable, interesting characters and a really interesting story that had me hooked the whole time. This is coupled with a great narrator that offers many wholly individual character voices that really compliments the writing. I very much enjoyed this book and upon finishing I immediately went to purchase the next in the series, but unfortunately, it's not been published on Audible at the time of my review. I then clicked the authors name only to find this is her only book thus far. I really hope the following book in this series isn't long off, I really want to continue hearing about Jason's adventures.

Solid fantasy story

Fantastic story, good magic system that feels fresh. As a small note, author seems to struggle a little with math in fight scenes, describes more deaths then what actually happens.
