Publisher's Summary

The Fool has been hunted. But he must become the hunter.

Accompanying an expedition of wizards, Alex has proved himself against the dangers of Greymoor, calling upon summoned servants to defeat the Ravener’s hunters. But with the death of his pursuers, no answers are apparent, only more questions.

And now Alex, the Heroes, his cabal, and the mighty Baelin seek answers in the ancient Crymlyn swamp, which the Sage of Thameland calls home.

But other eyes also watch the Crymlyn. Evil eyes. Demonic eyes.

And the Ravener is far from done with Alex.

For it has yet to call upon its more powerful servants....

Book five 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, deepening mystery, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.

One of the best!

This series with the Kings Dark Tidings series and Kingkiller chronicles and He who fights with Monsters are my favourite series. If you like this or the others then this is a great fast paced and clever read.

Amazing as always

This series is definitely one that will forever be in my faves list and one I'll re listen over and over again. Honestly I'll probably buy the books too and read them. It just has everything I've ever wanted; in depth characters, characters who use wit to get out of problems, humour, magical world building and action. And of course the narrator is a god when it comes to his narrations, can never go wrong with him!
My only grievance is how it ended! It's got me so excited for the next book, but it's not out yet!!! 😭

Great, but not really.

If you like the other series, its pretty much the same. action packed and whatnot. But with it being the 5th, it feels really slow. The actual storylines dont move as much and theres so much action that it borders repetitive and boring. I snoozed listening to some of the action scenes. I might buy the 6th, but with 3 being a filler and this and 4 being so slow...i feel like giving up on it.
were already at 5, and still I feel like half of the story couldve been cut or less, and this would still work.
