Wraithlord

Embercore, Book 2

By: Felix Taylor

Narrated by: K Joseph Sawhill

Pirin has taken his first steps into a wider world, but he has a long way to go before he catches up to the rest of the mages.

As he crosses a vast ocean in search for a teacher, Pirin encounters a mysterious, long-buried ruin that’s attracting all the nearby wildlife—and not the friendly kinds. Worse, the local guilds are scrambling to take control of the ruins.

The risks might be great, but the rewards waiting in the depths are even greater. Though he’s gained a little power, the true climb is just beginning, and he’ll need every advantage he can get if he wants to overcome the arcane deficiencies of his Embercore.

Besides, reality-altering gems, soul-bending wraiths, and enough gold to send the world’s economy spiralling into a recession aren’t the only prizes to claim. If he does well, he might just catch the eye of a powerful mage roaming the archipelago.

It’s a chance to finally seize his future. He’s trained for this—it’s time to put that training to good use.

Embercore is an action-packed progression fantasy in a world where an arcane bond with an animal grants superhuman powers. For fans of progression fantasy, vast cultivation epics, and stubborn heroes who won’t accept their lot in life.
