Conrad Edison and the Living Curse

A Twisted Take on Harry Potter (Overworld Arcanum, Book 1)

By: John Corwin

Narrated by: Jake Thornton

Cursed for life.

Conrad Edison is cursed. His foster parents die in horrible ways around his birthday, and he ends up back at the orphanage where he and the other children are treated like indentured servants. Forced to work the farm and perform other menial chores, Conrad holds no hope for a better life.

When a man with the ability to mind control animals inexplicably tries to kill Conrad, the harrowing scrape with death gives him a new perspective on life. He discovers the man had a flying carpet and a talking phone and that the orphanage is only the front for an insidious slave ring.

Determined to elude his cursed fate, Conrad decides to escape the orphanage once and for all. The phone leads him to a magical place called Queens Gate, and for the first time in his life, he dares to hope for a better life.

But unless he can free himself from the curse, the terrible secret it guards could destroy everything.

Harry Potter rip-off

There were a few exciting parts in the story but was quickly diminished by the poor references to Harry Potter.
