Shadow Uprising

A LitRPG Academy Adventure (Shieldwall Academy, Book 4)

By: M. Zaugg

Narrated by: J.S. Arquin

In a world exploding in civil war, victory demands more than just skill—it requires magic, ancient magic.

Pax and his friends are trapped in a deadly game, posing as empire loyalists in a double life secretly supporting the rebellion. Under the scrutiny of the empire’s elite, they collect crucial intel and perfect their formidable taming magic. But their deception is a precarious tightrope walk.

When their cover is blown, Pax and his crew must escape with their crucial magic to the rebel headquarters. It’s a race between the growing strength of the magic Pax brings to the rebellion and the empire’s ruthless strike teams and public executions trying to quash the uprising.

In this high-stakes battle, can Pax’s magic turn the tide, or will the empire snuff out the rebellion before it can truly begin?

The first 3 books were great but Shadow Uprising is the best book evarrr!

Ohhhh. Wow. So good! Yeah the first 3 books were great but Shadow Uprising is the best evarrr... and if you love Powerful Beast Companions like I do it'll be your new favorite addiction, with bloodshot eyes, because you stayed up to late reading! 😆 Pax, his friends, and Beast Companions are at it again helping mages, and fighters get their own tamed beasts and even some crafters are able, with Pax help, get companions. Pax and his friends are clockwork when it comes to taming monsters and turning them into Powerful Beast Companions. Not just working with babies now, because they've leveled up, they can tame adults too. And supplying the Rebels the wherewithal to win the war! And yeah Pax is learning so much from light magic, even able to give mages a second form of Magic to wield, which will boost their offense abilities! And yes as I predicted Pax managed to catch up with his brother Titus. Yay!! Who the eff is fortysecond spawn? He keeps lurking in the shadows getting stronger.

Great Progression!

Now we’re cooking with gas! It is fun to see progression of my favorite characters, bigger beasts, and more light magic. I can’t wait for the next book!

Awesome book!

Great payoffs and plot. I want to read book 5 right now! Great setting. Can’t wait to fine or what happens next.

Best book yet!

I loved the recap at the beginning! There is a good amount of plot progression with some huge revelations near the end. The characters see some level progression with cool new skills. I’m excited to see what happens next. The narrator did a good job giving the characters some individualized personality.

An epic addition to the series!

This one ramped up the stakes and leaned more into the tamings and the rebels. A fair bit of action and setting up for the future. Can’t recommend this series enough.
