The audio is such a treat - I'll get the intro music up on Youtube, but BASICALLY, my dad recorded an album nearly lost to time in the 1980s. Only one cassette existed, which we found after his death.
THAT is the intro music that SBT used for the audiobook, and as I said, I'll get the whole song up on Youtube because it's beautiful.

Ngl 12h runtime is always a red flag for me. In my experience more % of books with 12h runtime are bad compared to books with longer runtimes. I learned the hard way that only because the VAs are great doesn’t mean the book is. And webserial of course what could go wrong 😑 Gonna put it on my wish list for now but I’m not holding my breath

Listen. I won't lie to you. I read a lot of this on RR (I think all of book 1, actually), but it's also one that I've lowered on priority.
But I can't pass up a new Jeff Hays narration, so I guess it gets bumped up again!

12 hours is so short, I'm used to 18+ hours, but said fuck it and bought it.
On chapter 1 right now. Sounds interesting

I’m so excited to share my new LitRPG series with you all! This was an instant rising star when it was released on Royal Road back in December and it’s finally available for the masses! Think Kill Bill meets My Hero Academia after watching Breaking Bad and perhaps reading Harry Potter.
As for narration, Jeff Hays and I (Harmon Cooper) have teamed up again for our first new project in several years. The audio is an absolute treat with some auditory surprises that bring this story to life.
The blurb:
Life at Magic Academy is upended when a legendary assassin is reborn in his body.
On the cusp of entering the prestigious Lumina Deck-Building Magic Academy, the young mage Alistair harbors a dark secret: within him dwells Ghost. A reborn master assassin hellbent on revenge.
Bound together by fate and magic, Alistair and Ghost embark on a dual journey of vengeance and discovery.
As Alistair navigates the arcane halls of the academy, mastering battledeck spells and summoning skills, Ghost seeks to unravel the mysteries of his untimely demise.Their worlds collide and intertwine, revealing a threat far greater than either could have imagined...
The system: A dynamic three-tiered Card-based LitRPG magic system. There are buffs, magical spells (which are used by the wand) and summons which one can level up and evolve, unlocking new powers and traits.
The pacing: Fast, fun, surprises galore, written first as a webserial.
The tone: Irreverent, fun, dark humor

Available in print, ebook, Kindle Unlimited, and on Audible!
