Confluence of Fates

First Fist, Book 2

By: TJ Reynolds

Narrated by: Daniel Wisniewski, Rebecca Woods

After defending the Sanctum, hearth and home of the Jackal Sect, Luca and his disciples have worked hard to establish a foothold on their little island.

The Skalds remain undealt with, however, and the Wylish folk face an unforgiving winter. Without the meat and herbs Luca harvested, many would have already died from starvation and sickness. And the cold will only deepen with time.

Luca's shouldered a monstrous burden. In addition to extending his protection to the exiles, the cultivator has taken on a most improbable task: raising the nascent Jackal Sect to a position of power.

One of seven in Andaya abroad, Luca's sect lacks what its six sister sects have aplenty. They have few resources, limited manpower, and far too little time to amend these shortcomings.

Most dire of all, their deity is young. Though Leshra's wit is sharp, her own powers fall well short of the gods Dai and Ro.

The Chaos Monks will not let the theft of the Divinity Scroll remain unchallenged. With all the trials Luca faces, he has no choice but to strive for greater power.

He's set his eyes on the island's interior. There lies priceless reagents, the potential to make up for the lack imposed by their isolation, and if he plays his cards right, the boon of much-needed allies.

First Fist is a progression fantasy series containing elements of wuxia/cultivation, light and creamy LitRPG, sect- and base-building, light crafting, and epic fantasy. While this book contains cussing and graphic violence, it does not contain explicit or sexual content.

I love the story!

The narration took a few chapters to adapt to. But that is often the case when getting into a new story.
I also loved the story and found the “video game” point and award structure provided in later chapters really interesting. Again, that was jarring at first but then once I adjusted, it was a refreshing take on fantasy.

An epic story

This series has been absolutely amazing. The characters are unique and interesting. The story is well crafted and entrancing. The narrators are so talented! The main character, with all of his power and all of his flaws, is one of the most relatable and believable main characters I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing a story with. I love this story, and I cannot wait for more!!!

great

good progression. what I don't like is that some transitions occur as if there is a missing paragraph. e.g. there is a celebration and the MC is then back in his home town.

it's finally here

I've waited for this to come out and it was worth it. Luca is one of my favorite characters. a lot happened in this book hoping everything keeps progressing when the next book comes

great work on the book and the narration was awesome to

Captivating

I'm almost done with the second book and can not wait to get into the third!
