Gage Black and the Dying Lands

By: Britt Asher

Narrated by: William Turbett

To save his world... he’ll have to destroy another.

Gage Black finally has everything he’s ever wanted—friends, family, and a place to belong. After defeating deadly enemies and helping reclaim the capital, he’s earned the kingdom’s respect. Not bad for a void user with a dangerous reputation.

Then Alphen ruins everything. He shatters the crystal that could’ve freed their kingdom from tyranny and launches a ruthless campaign to eliminate every other major source of magic. Why? Because he’s a lying, backstabbing traitor with a secret agenda.

Gage sets out to stop him, but an ancient dragon intervenes and hurls Gage and his friends to Caladon, a dying world on the brink of collapse. There, they uncover a devastating truth: the only way to save their own world is to destroy Caladon—and everyone on it. The worst part? Gage has made friends on Caladon. Real ones. And they’re not going down without a fight.

Eragon meets Ranger’s Apprentice in this clean, fast-paced fantasy series filled with magic, adventure, and danger. Perfect for young teens and beyond!

Awesome story, narrated wonderfully

Britt Asher's second book in the Gate Black series does not disappoint. with plenty of magic, action, and witty banter, it's a sheer delight the while way through. William Turbett's narration adds so much to the story-telling with his ability to give voice (and sometimes voices) to the characters. There were times I held my breath and times I laughed out loud, well done!
