À propos de cet audio

 In this thrilling first book of the Powder Mage Trilogy, civil unrest has crippled the citizens of Adro in the aftermath of the revolution that obliterated the monarchy—now, Field Marshal Tamas and his lieutenants must confront the true cost of freedom.

It's a bloody business overthrowing a king ...

Field Marshal Tamas' coup against his king sent corrupt aristocrats to the guillotine and brought bread to the starving. But it also provoked war with the Nine Nations, internal attacks by royalist fanatics, and the greedy to scramble for money and power by Tamas's supposed allies: the Church, workers unions, and mercenary forces.

It's up to a few ...

Stretched to his limit, Tamas is relying heavily on his few remaining powder mages, including the embittered Taniel, a brilliant marksman who also happens to be his estranged son, and Adamat, a retired police inspector whose loyalty is being tested by blackmail.

But when gods are involved ...

Now, as attacks batter them from within and without, the credulous are whispering about omens of death and destruction. Just old peasant legends about the gods waking to walk the earth. No modern educated man believes that sort of thing. But they should ...

The original magic systems, story, characters, and world are all top level. As a fan of the Cosmere, Song of Ice and Fire, the Wheel of Time, and the like this series holds a lot of promise. I look forward to finishing the trilogy. Also, Rodska's narration is top class, easy to listen to and his distinctive voices make dialogue easy to follow.

Outstanding fantasy!

Surprising find

Little slow in the beginning just because it dives in and I found the story slightly confusing but once I figured out the basics, I didn't stop listening until it was done

great listen 🎶

The concept of gun magic, while intriguing, wasn’t really drawing me in so, I left it on my list for years. I kept finding other novels to fill my time. But now, Now i have experienced this wondrous first entry and I am so very pleased i finally got to this incredible book. It promises blood and it delivers. It produced a handful of fascinating magic systems i am excited to learn more about. The ending is extremely promising and I can’t wait to read more.

Gripping. Bloody. Beautiful.

I loved it, it’s that simple, the characters are easy to get attached to, the concept of snorting powder is interesting, and most importantly the conflict is compelling!

Amazingly awesome!

I was first introduced to Brian McClellan to another book of his and really enjoyed it, so I thought I would try out the Power Mage Series. Well! He did not disappoint!
Incredible Trilogy, I have read it multiple times now and just love how Brian McClellan writes.

If you are looking for a book with action, adventure, depth of characters in a really amazingly built up world of fantasy... get this book.

LOVE THIS SERIES!
