The Frith Chronicles: ARC I

The Frith Chronicles Collection, Book 1

By: Shami Stovall

Narrated by: Brian Wiggins

This omnibus contains the first three novels of the Frith Chronicles, all of which are also sold separately:

• Book 1: Knightmare Arcanist
• Book 2: Dread Pirate Arcanist
• Book 3: Coliseum Arcanist

Volke Savan has always wanted to be an arcanist - someone who has bonded with a mystical creature and is capable of wielding magic. Phoenix arcanists can create fire and heal, hydra arcanists can create poison and recover from most injuries, and knightmare arcanists are masters of shadow and fear.

After bonding with a mystical creature, Volke travels to the mainland, fighting through pirates, tournaments, and dastardly scoundrels, all to follow in the footsteps of legendary swashbucklers and heroes alike.

Critic reviews

"Knightmare Arcanist by Shami Stovall was rollicking good fun! Perfect for those who enjoy the Codex Alera series, the Homas Wildus series and the Harry Potter series. Stovall is quickly becoming a name I look for." (Seattle Book Review)

"Dread Pirate Arcanist was everything I had hoped it would be, and then some." (Coffee Pot Book Club)

"Building on the fantastic story and characters of the previous installments, Coliseum Arcanist is a brilliant continuation of the Frith Chronicles as well as a triumph in its own right." (ManyBooks)

THIS IS A MUST READ

One of the best fantasy series I have ever read perfectly written and masterfully narrated I have listened to the whole series 5 times now and it just keeps getting better!! do yourself a favor and download this book

Amazing Books!

the storyline keeps you on your toes and leaves no loopholes. Very well thought out and the voice acting is like none other. I couldn't stop listening. ❤️

Wanting more!

The world building is great and the magic system is great. I like how all the Eldrins have different magic and abilities. If you like Pokemon and magic adventures then I recommend the arcanist series. I'm curious what other Eldrins the author can come up with. I do hope more people start liking this series. I want more people to talk to about this. Even some movie or TV show would be fun.

patchy

I loved the books 1 through 3, and the reader was amazing. However, the narrator would constantly sound good and then suddenly be very loud, then suddenly very quiet. I keep my headphones at a set volume so I don't hurt my ears but it hurts when the narrator suddenly cuts in loud, almost shouting narrations.

I like the special effects for the combined voices of Vulc and Luthair.

Essentially everything was good, but the narrator needed to have a set volume and turn the gain down on whatever microphone he was using when shouting and turn it back up when speaking normally.

A wonderful young adult adventure

The main character is a young gravedigger apprentice. His parents are long gone, one was a thief, the other a murderer. More than anything else, he wants to be an arcanist -- one bonded to a magical creature.

The main characters are likeable, the villains are annoying but not disastrously so, the magic is fun and magical, the action is fast paced. As I went through it, I thought I saw the arc of the whole series shaping up ... but instead, I only saw where the first book was going. That's all a good set-up for the second book, and then the third book. The action is consistently well done -- but there's a bit of YA convenience about various plots. Still, I enjoyed it.

Highly recommended.
