About this listen

In ages past, so the histories tell us, our ancestors were ruled wisely and well by the Six Masters and their Courts – aided in their task by the magical Shards of Stone that bestowed power upon their holders.

Today few Shards remain. The land has fallen into disrepair and lawlessness with the people reverting to a feudal existence, governed by the Brotherhood of Serenity which controls the remaining Shards and their magics with ruthless jealousy.

Jaydon Farcast is an orphan, raised by his aunt and uncle, who dreams of becoming a soldier in the service of his Lord Derwain. But those dreams are shattered when he discovers that he controls two of the legendary Shards – bestowing on him the gifts of both Mind Magic and War Magic and therefore making him, under the Brotherhood’s teachings, unnatural, perverted, and liable for summary execution. An Abomination.

Now Jaydon must learn to use his magics, fighting with both occult and warrior skills to evade the Brotherhood’s justice and protect his family.

I'm looking forward to the promised sequel. This book was really gripping. I loved the way the adventure panned out. The characters were really believable and the narrator brought them to life. Good job.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book it captures the imagination and I have been unable to put it down. The characters are wonderful and the world is exactly what you want a magical world to be. I cannot wait for the next book. And although I tried every crystal in my house I do not unfortunately own a shard.

Addictive and wonderful

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The performance really drew you into the story. The different voices for the characters brought them to life, making the story really enjoyable to listen to.

The story was really engaging with a good pace to it. If you enjoy magic and adventure, I'd recommend a listen!

I didn't really know what to expect with a title like 'Abomination'. What I got was a mixture of Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, and Django Wexler. An excellent sweeping fantasy with likable characters and immersive story.

The sorry of Jaden hooked me immediately and the narration by Jus Sargent was wonderful. I'll definitely be looking out for books narrated by him in the future.
My only sadness with this book is that I can't grab the next one yet. Cliffhanger!

A mixture of all of my favourites!

A very enjoyable listen, a tad monologue heavy at points but once the story got going it was a good storyline. looking forward to the next book and hearing how Jayden develops. Enjoyed the accidents of the narrator.
