Publisher's Summary

He tried to escape. But something followed.

After a grueling trial, Alex Roth had reached the University of Generasi and learned much about the Mark of the Fool and how to exploit it for new paths of power.

Making friends and training in alchemy, all seemed to be going well.

But shadows stir.

The dark secrets of his homeland haunt him. His sister—Selina—learns that she is what she hates most. And unfriendly, monstrous eyes track him.

As he tries to live a normal life, he must risk danger to uncover dark secrets, survive the wrath of those that call upon demons, and avoid the gaze of a hunter from an ancient enemy....

And that is when the murders begin.

Oh, and he still has to make sure he can pay tuition.

In book two of the best-selling series, continue your fantastical journey into a coming-of-age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.

Absolutely great book

Whilst listening I found it very hard to stop. It keeps the listener engaged and it has a great pace to it.
Can’t wait for book 3

Wonderful series

This one felt a bit short, but that’s probably because I’m enjoying it so much!

Great Fantasy World and Characters

Loved every minute, can't wait for the next and Travis's narration elevates the whole thing. Probably going to give in and go read it on royal road instead of waiting for the 3rd installment on Audible.

Scientific fantasy is a refreshing change

Clarke has taken the time to intellectualise the mechanics behind magic. The scientific critique and explanation of how parts of magic work and normalise it's use, as well as describing a community accepting and full of variations on the concept of people is exciting. The protagonist is likeable and believable and the plot flows well through them. Baldree narrates the sounds and actions well and his voice is suited to the story, although he is a bit stilted when he reads "man" in speech.
