Story
He was born anew in a world where martial arts were indistinguishable from magic. He only received a neuronet and meaningless desires from his past life. What lies ahead? He dreamed of adventure and freedom, but those dreams were taken away from him. The same way his mother, father, and sister had been taken away. They took the kingdom, they took his own destiny. But he is willing to wage a war, against the whole world if need be, to bring everything back.

Story
Twenty-eight florins a month is a huge price to pay for a man to stand between you and the Wild. Twenty-eight florins a month is nowhere near enough when a wyvern's jaws snap shut on your helmet in the hot stink of battle, and the beast starts to rip the head from your shoulders. But if standing and fighting is hard, leading a company of men - or worse, a company of mercenaries - against the smart, deadly creatures of the Wild is even harder. It takes all the advantages of birth, training, and the luck of the devil to do it.

Publisher's Summary
The next book in the Masters & Mages series that started with Cold Iron, from the master of fantasy Miles Cameron.
Only fools think war is simple or glorious.
On the magic-drenched battlefield, information is the lifeblood of victory, and Aranthur is about to discover that carrying messages, scouting the enemy, keeping his nerve, and passing on orders is more dangerous, and more essential, then an inexperienced soldier could imagine...especially when everything starts to go wrong.
Masters & Mages:

- Dark Forge

Another exciting chapter in an epic fantasy!
Miles/Christian Cameron is one of my favorite authors and this book just reinforces that. I loved this book from start to finish. Great performance by the narrator also. Cameron does two things better than anyone else; write great combat scenes that are believable and based on history and experience and discuss the ethics of violence and nonviolence in real ways while keeping the story moving. do yourself a favor make this your next listen!

Interesting story that moves at the right pace.
The story line changes and grows in Dept at a pace which feels right and the characters grow and develop naturally. I feel like I know the characters and I find I am concerned about the future they face.

A solid second book in the trilogy
I was browsing Audible and saw that the second book in the Masters and Mages series had come out. I added it to my queue and started to relisten to the first book (in the background so I could refamiliarize myself with the setting) and quickly finished it. This book starts out right where the other one left off and doesn't really have too many "down time" sections.
Our primary antagonist continues on his path of discovery and growth set against the backdrop of a war. Exciting action and a more in-depth look at the magic of the world awaits.
A solid second book in the trilogy that still moves the story forward and sets up some good plot points for the third book.
Very good narration as usual.
My only complaint is that I wish publishers (along with the authors) would provide a one-page name guide for those that only get the Audible book - a couple of the names are close and can get confusing about 3/4 of the way through.

The rare sequel that surpasses the original
A problem i have with a lot of series is that it's so hard to top a coming of age origin story. The sequels can seem sluggish and anticlimactic in comparison. Cameron not only manages to keep a strong (and relentless!) feeling of progress, but also keeps consistent pacing that gives you the occasional breather. As always, incredible action sequences that make you feel like you're the one swinging the sword. And another top-tier performance from Mark Meadows!

Couldn't lose myself in the story
Not a bad story just wasn't .... I feel like one the problems with young adult story is they combine too much emotions with adult situations. Everything is just felt so deeply. The first story didn't have this issue. Feels like all his inner dialogue is about how sorry he feels. It's almost like he didn't grow from these experiences.
