Publisher's Summary

The Beginning After the End: Publisher's Pack contains books 1 and 2 of The Beginning After the End series. 

Early Years, book one:

I never believed in the whole “light at the end of the tunnel” folly where people, after having a near-death experience, would startle awake in a cold sweat exclaiming, “I saw the light!” But there I was, in this so-called “tunnel” facing a glaring light, when the last thing I remembered was sleeping in my room - the royal bed-chamber, as others called it. Had I died? If so, how?

King Grey once benefited from unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability but now finds himself reborn in a society dominated by magic. Given a second chance at life, the once-king strives to understand his role in this new world and the purpose of his reincarnation while correcting the mistakes of his past.

New Heights, book two:

I had a family now, I had people who loved me. It was a feeling I never wanted to give up. I’d treasure it, fight for it if I had to...and for that, I needed to better myself. More so even than when I had been a king.

Given a second chance at life, Arthur Leywin wishes above all to grow strong enough to protect his family, as the memory of his cold and disconnected past life as King Grey still haunts him. To this end, Arthur adopts the persona of the masked adventurer, Note, and delves into the dungeons under the forbidding Beast Glades. On his adventures, Arthur discovers a strange magical blade that responds to the dragon’s will inside him, befriends a powerful young conjurer whose past is shrouded in mystery, and battles the deadly Elderwood Guardian. Yet all his efforts might prove for naught when Arthur makes an enemy of a talented conjurer from a very powerful family, putting his very future at risk.

Mana cultivation tale

It’s so hard to find good cultivation tales. It’s not the whole story but adds a flavour I loved. I want more!!!

Amazing read!

A story that reels you in? No problem! Cliffhangers that have you on the edge of your seat? I barely hang on! Emotions that have you feeling the way the characters do? Well, I could power a waterwheel... The story that follows the adventures of our protagonist are ones that you would regret missing!

Hopefully you can enjoy this story just as much as I do!

Keep up the amazing works TurtleMe!

Entertaining but the male Mary Sue trope is a lot

The books are definitely entertaining. I enjoy the pacing, and the action. The narrator is amazing.

However I can't help but find the book quite hollow. It just feels like the characters aren't very dimensional. The main character is such a Mary Sue with everything handed to him it kind of takes a lot of magic out of the story. He's the king of Mary Sues, truly. I get that he's a man in a child's body, but it just makes him so unrelatable with all his specialties on top of it.

The talk of very young girls "one day blossoming into beautiful young women" in every chapter also gets a bit creepy. There's a lot of play on infantile romance in this book and it is WEIRD. Again it seems hollow to make every young girl the same personality and if they aren't related to him they have a crush on Art.

Buy it!

I enjoyed the story, but more so I enjoyed Travis’s performance.

There are few audio books that have made me come back multiple times for the voice acting, and he's fantastic.

The first time I listened to this book, I CRINGED as he performed the female roles, but after an hour of listening I realized he brought the characters to life regardless of their gender.

He does a consistent voice for each character, and it stays consistent throughout the series.

If you're interested in being transported to a new world and experiencing an adventure, buy this Publisher pack and let Travis tell you the tale of King Grey.
