About this listen

Kill the traitor-prince.

The cry for Wes Malcolm's death has followed him from Earth all the way to Avalon, and an entire new breed of Hordebeast has taken up the call. Howling wolf-men now hunt him as an escaped convict, a false teacher, and a traitor to a legacy he had rejected immediately. Worse yet, he must fight not only for his own freedom, but for the prisoners he rescued from the dungeon on this ruined world.

Now he needs to evade the monsters long enough to get the former hostages to safety, then grow strong enough to battle his hunters and win. To do so, he’s going to have to delve into the ruins of this world and discover ghosts and secrets from another age, including the hidden history of Earth itself.

He cannot fall here. Too many worlds have put their hope in him.

Sequel to Downfall and Rise.

Epic portal fantasy with LITRPG/GameLit elements. Features profanity and adult themes. Also features a multi-bodied alien nerd-girl with a penchant for wearing ironic Earth t-shirts as a love interest. You have been warned.

From beginning to the very end, very good to listen to, a little bit of a slow down in one part, but builds right back up

Great story

I get the character has had things pretty rough at times and is traumatised etc etc. But its really hard to enjoy listening to the crying and whinging every couple of chapters (for long minutes)... either get over it or just alude to it. Also do we really need to hear the characters apologising to each other over and over... "I'm sorry" "No Wes, I'm more sorry than you!" "But I'm also sorry about making you say sorry" "Oh, sorry about that". on that note, nothing screams simp more than constantly begging for forgiveness when its already been given (repeatedly) or is unnecessary to begin with.

I wanted to like it...
