About this listen

Five years ago Corin Cadence's brother entered the Serpent Spire - a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire's trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those few who reach the top of the tower will be granted a boon by the spire's goddess.

He never returned.

Now it's Corin's turn. He's headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.

If he can survive the trials, Corin will earn an attunement, but that won't be sufficient to survive the dangers on the upper levels. For that he's going to need training, allies, and a lot of ingenuity.

The journey won't be easy, but Corin won't stop until he gets his brother back.

The MMORPG novel I always wanted

The world works like an MMORPG and it's fantastic! The story is very interesting the characters are cool yet flawed, and the magic system is well done. Overall a solid book! Would definitely recommend to fantasy fans and gamers.

Well written and entertain.

My only disappointment with this book is that it didn't go further in the overall story arc. I suppose it's meant to keep the anticipation high for book 2.

Really great!

I enjoy the narrator a lot, one of my favourites. Main part of the reason why I first listened to the book. The overall story sounded interesting too. Reading it, I might have gotten a little bored but listening, added that extra bit that made it great and kept my attention. The book really picked up closer to the end and I extremely enjoyed the twists that went on. I do wish that some other parts of the story background was explained a bit more in details.
