Secrets of Tarin-Tiran

A LitRPG Portal Fantasy (Trickster's Song, Book 3)

By: Tom O'Bedlam

Narrated by: Will M. Watt

Bound by magic to a missing trickster god, a young adventurer quests for supernatural treasures and secret knowledge in a dangerous fantasy world.

Once upon a time, Robin was one of billions of people struggling just to get through twenty-first century life. Now, he’s a bard of growing renown in an enchanted realm, capable of conjuring realistic illusions—a gift from the mischievous missing deity Rhyth—and an enemy of the tyrannical Lord-God Urkhan.

Charged with discovering what happened to Rhyth, Robin leads a band of warrior fortune hunters into the city of Tarin-Tiran, a once prosperous civilization where the trickster god had been openly worshipped. Invaded by the armies of Urkhan many years ago, nothing remains but ruins and the legions of hobgoblins left behind to uncover the powerful magical artifacts buried there.

But terrors far worse than hobgoblins await Robin and his party: Wild Magic runs rampant through the city, and anyone touched by it is liable to suffer its unpredictable ill effects. Acid fog drifts along the landscape consuming everything in its path. Creatures born of shadow strike in silence. And Urkhan’s high priest, Gis—whom Robin has run afoul of time and again—is also in Tarin-Tiran, seeking to increase his master’s power.

Amidst the otherworldly objects hidden in the city is a black iron crown, scrolled with blood-red enamel runes. It is the crown of Kharvec’Na, and it bestows upon its bearer the ability to compel others to obey his commands. Robin’s not about to let the crown fall into Gis’s hands, but will he be able to resist the temptation to don the weapon himself?

The third volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than 800,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Absolutely loved this addition

The narrating is top tier, the story is so interesting I love the trickster archetype and robin does it so well! I’m very curious where the story will continue from the ending!

Loved it!!

Me again! Another incredible installation! More powers developed, more questions and more answers! Lots of character growth and development. I’m looking forward to the next book. It’s been such a fun ride. Don’t pass this story up!!!

Such a good series, but...

This was a great series, but it's incomplete. And seeing as it's nearly 3 years later & the author has produced nothing, I see no conclusion ever coming to fruition.
The narrator was great throughout the series, yet dropped the editing ball several times in this book, repeating segments 2 or 3 times. Editing would have prevented this.
We never find out what happens to Robin.
I listened to this book twice & was still a little confused. It wasn't as smooth & cohesive as the previous 2 books.
I'd love another book! Here's to hoping...
