Book description
He was no hero. No knight. Just a sorcerer. A warlock. The kind that gets whispered about in shadowed corners. His name carried weight. Darkness. Danger. But old friends? He wouldn't abandon them. Not when the world cracked open. Not even if it meant his own ruin.
He should've known.
His genius. His rituals. All useless now. Sent him spinning back. Not just back. Way back. 1909. Russian Empire. St. Petersburg.
Not the world he knew.
Aristos with sparkly powers ruling everything. Streets breathing magic and fear. Breaches tearing open. Monsters spilling out. Ghouls. Spirits. All crawling into the light.
And him?
Skinny teenage body. No friends. No allies. No money. No title. Just a scared kid in a borrowed skin.
His mission?
Save his world.
Not a problem. Just a minor setback.
The audio hits you like a cold shock. The narrator's voice low. Weary. But sharp. Like he's whispering the truth through the static of time.
You feel that disorientation. The sheer wrongness of being a power he was. Now just a kid staring at a world that feels ancient and alien.
The 1909 detail? Perfect. Not fantasy clichés. Real history. The smell of coal smoke. The clatter of trams. The weight of old empires.
The sorcerer's panic? Not about magic. It's about being small. In a body that doesn't remember how to fight. How to command.
He's not a hero. He's just trying to survive. To find a way back. To fix the mess he made.
The narrator nails it. That quiet desperation. The way he says "no friends no allies no money" - it's not a list. It's a sentence. A sigh. A punch to the gut.
You hear the fear. The frustration. But underneath? That stubborn core. That job he still has to do.
This isn't just fantasy. It's a plunge. Into another time. Into another skin. Into the terrifying vulnerability of being utterly powerless.
And the best part? It's not about becoming a hero again. It's about finding the strength to be someone new. While the world burns around him.
The audiobook? It makes you feel the weight of that tiny, terrified body. The echo of his old power. The sheer, terrifying beauty of a man who might not be a hero at all. But who still chooses to try.
It's brilliant. Unsettling. And utterly impossible to stop listening to.
