Book description
Imagine cheating death itself, then waking up in a young count's scandalous life three centuries later-in the city you helped build. That's the electrifying start to The Living Stone, and it's even better in audio.
Marcus Cass doesn't just tell a story; he immerses you. The audiobook's narration pulls you into the heart of St. Petersburg, where a master artificer-now reborn with a reputation for reckless charm-must rebuild his life and his craft. Forget quiet retirement: this hero's back, sharper than ever, ready to out-engineer nobles, outwit conspirators, and finally master the artificer's true power.
You'll feel the weight of his past victories and regrets in every whispered line. The narrator's voice crackles with the tension of a world teetering between magic and machinery, making you lean in as the city's secrets unfold. And that moment when he finally smiles at the thought of designing something beautiful? Pure magic.
If you loved The Last Life's intricate worlds or The Order of Architects' brilliant scheming, you'll devour this. Cass crafts characters who feel real-flawed, fierce, and utterly unforgettable. You'll laugh at the count's audacious schemes, cheer when he outsmarts a pompous duke, and race through pages (or rather, episodes) to see if he'll ever find peace.
This isn't just fantasy-it's a thrill. The pacing is relentless, the stakes personal, and the payoff? Unforgettable. And with Eye of the Basilisk and The Mirror of Power already waiting, you're not just starting a book-you're diving into a saga you'll need to hear.
So grab your headphones, let the narrator's voice wrap around you like a well-worn workshop apron, and step into a world where artificers shape empires... and where the greatest danger might just be a scandalous reputation. Your next obsession is waiting. Listen now.
