Publisher's Summary

From the author of the New York Times bestselling King’s Dark Tidings series comes a prequel novel set in that world.

Wesson is still years from becoming a man when an immense darkness stirs within his core. The sinister power bursts free during a confrontation with an old enemy, and Wesson’s tranquil life is left in tatters.

Forced to flee a murderous mob, Wesson stumbles onto a tumultuous path where he must confront the destructive power he has awakened. He must learn control over the power he wields or risk being consumed by it. As he wrestles with his training, an assassin stalks his every move. This new enemy is sent by a mysterious foe, one who will force Wesson to choose between the kindness in his heart and the seductive power in his soul.

Mage of No Renown can be enjoyed as a standalone, but be warned: it will likely lead you into Free The Darkness.

Finaly more kings dark tidings!!!!!

loved every word of this book! after waiting forever for more story to this world it finally has come, And Wesson's tale is every bit as good as i hoped. most of my love for this book is indeed just the love for the series as is but if you were to read this on its own without knowledge of the main series it may be a bit confusing. regardless I truly love this book and will defiantly be re listening multiple times. i was smiling like an idiot at the end and haven't felt this great in a while. Huge props to Nick Podehl as well for being such an amazing narrator and truly making this world come alive! I strive to listen to every book he has narrated now! Super excited for the next book in the mage of no renown series and book 5 of kings dark tidings!!!

Great to revisit these characters again.

As always, Nick Podehl delivers a great performance. It's a solid prequel about one of the more interesting characters in the series. Happy to revisit these characters and the world that Kel Kade has created.

Unexpected surprise

I was so happy to stumble upon a prequel/backstory for the kings dark tidings series. Same great storytelling and narrated by Nick Podehl.
A this point I guess I'll just wait until the next kings dark tidings book. All that being said, undeniably a good listen.

An exciting magical boy story

Wesson's rather touching back story outlining his understanding of magical power. The epilogue was a very sweet touch I was hoping for!

Thanks so much to Kel Kade and Nick Podehl! Can't wait for more!
