Mageborn

By: Stephen Aryan

Narrated by: Matt Addis

Fear of magic may spark the next world war in the new fantasy series from Stephen Aryan, set in the same world as Battlemage.

Habreel believes eradicating magic is the only way to ensure lasting peace. He will do anything to achieve his goal, even if it means murdering every child born with magical ability.

As a series of mysterious deaths place the seat of magical learning under suspicion, two students and one lawbringer must do everything they can to combat Habreel and his followers, before magic disappears from the world for good.

Critic reviews

"A vivid and rousing adventure with the kind of magic that punches you right in the face"—Jenn Williams on Battlemage

"This is epic fantasy for readers who appreciate extra helpings of carnage with their backstabbing."—Publishers Weekly on Battlemage

"Stephen Aryan puts the epic into Epic Fantasy. This is a ground-shaking debut, full of fiery promise"—Den Patrick, on Battlemage

Good story

This is a well written story with a strong grasp on its internal logic. But it can be hard to listen to when every situation ends up the same. It can be irritating to only see bigotry and hate when not everyone would fall into this trap.
