Number One New Adult and College Best Seller

Number Two Fantasy Best Seller

Top Ten Fantasy (Overall)

Voice Arts Award Nominee (Fantasy)

All Will Blackwood ever wanted was a little adventure. A fantasy addict and apprentice builder in New Orleans, struggling to make ends meet, he has long wished for an escape from the real world.

Late one night, he and his brothers receive a surprise inheritance: a staff with a mysterious stone on top, a pair of rogue's bracers, and a sword that Will can barely lift. A man who stops bullets with a glance shows up to take the sword, and the three brothers barely escape with their lives. Searching for an explanation, it is not until a magical key whisks them across time and space, into a terrifying version of New Orleans ruled by wizards, that Will accepts the truth about his family's past.

It seems Will Blackwood has found his adventure. But this isn't one of his fantasy novels, or a gaming campaign with friends. In his father's world, magic and monsters are real. Choices are life and death. And they have no idea how to get home....

Painful narrator

I find the story not bad, however the overly dramatic and drawling voice of the narrator is ruining it for me. He uses the same voice for all characters so you don’t know who’s speaking. Can’t even finish.

eh, not great, but not bad.

the story has some slope and many situations feel forced, the main brothers are unremarkable, and i felt more sympathy for the side characters than the main characters, by alot.
