My name is Wen Alder. My name is Foolish Cur.

All my life, I have been torn between two legacies: my father's, whose family trace their roots back to the right hand of the emperor. My mother's, whose family want to bring the Empire to its knees.

I can choose between them - between the safety of empire or the freedom of rebellion - or I can seek out a better path...one filled with magic and secrets, unbound by suffocating legacy, but one that could shake my world to its very foundation.

For my quest will bring me face-to-face with the gods themselves. And they have been watching. Waiting to make their move....

The first book in the Pact and Pattern series. Fans of Robin Hobb, Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn and R.F. Kuang's The Poppy War will love the magic running through every chapter.

The story is the best magical story I've ever read, the narrator's accents, pronunciation and timings are incredible. but the editing is strange, if you're listening on earbuds I doubt you'll notice, but on headphones it's odd how it sounds as though one moment he's up right close to the mic and then far away, and then it sounds like different editing software changes his voice just slightly, if you can make it so it doesn't bug you it's perfect, I took little pauses when I started noticing it. But still finished the book in less than 3 days....

fantastic book, great reader, weird editing.
