About this listen

The young, sickly Irwin has seen nothing but bad luck in his short life. When his brother finally returns with a magical card for him, his luck is about to change. But will it change for the better? Irwin is sent off together with a group of youths to placate a group of sorcerers. With just the weird utility card gifted by his brother, he can only pray to stay alive long enough.

Little does he know that this is the start of an epic journey that will take him across his world and many others, gathering friends, enemies, and power as he does.

This series falls into the Progression Fantasy and Gamelit categories, but it also has many elements commonly associated with crafting and LitRPG stories.

Irwin’s journey is a craft of love. The setting and magic system are refreshing and done in a way that’s super interesting to listen to.

This is the first in an incredible instalment, and it only gets exponentially better!

It’s been amazing to go from reading this story, to revisiting it from the beginning and hearing it told, and come to life through the voice of another.

I am beyond excited for the rest of the series. Wish listed and eagerly awaited!

The start of a story by a masterful storyteller
