World Affinity

The Radiant Traveler Series, Book 2

By: R. A. Schmitt

Narrated by: Reuben Ashcroft

A sickness spreads. A city hides its secrets. The System is watching.

Callum and his companions arrive in Bernhardt City expecting rest and trade, but instead they find a mystery festering in the streets. An illness grips the poor, whispers of corruption reach the royal palace, and shadows stir beneath the surface of the System itself.

For Auggie, it’s a chance to save his father. For Olivia, it’s a test of her growing power. For Callum… it’s the beginning of battles that will change him forever.

From training yards to taverns, from royal halls to the depths of a dungeon, the group must fight, craft, and endure together. The System offers no easy victories, and even friendship may not be enough when kings, clans, and ancient powers take notice.

Expect:

• Crafting, system secrets, and enchanted gear
• A royal city full of intrigue and hidden agendas
• Battles against beasts, shadows, and System-spawned threats
• Found-family bonds tested in fire and chaos
• Progression fantasy and LitRPG with stat-driven growth
• Dungeon challenges that demand every skill they’ve earned

Don’t Expect:

• Instant overpowered heroes
• Easy romance or chosen-one tropes

Great continuation

overall the book is great, it's a really good, fun, casual listen, but the second book in the series really stepped it up, i definitely enjoy this series and the author is fantastic, i have zero complaints and will continue on with this series til the very end. Also once again, these books make me both want to smoke a pipe and eat good.

Great second book!

I really enjoyed this installment! The writer’s skill seems to be getting better and better! The story is very engaging and the characters are likable and believable. The pipe smoking aspect is very refreshing for me as a fellow pipe smoker. The narrator does a great job of bringing the characters to life. I will definitely be listening to additional books.
