Summary

Fifteen-year-old Valmont has spent far more time in libraries than practicing with a wooden sword. In the aftermath of a devastating battle, he finds himself bound to Epyon, a powerful Necromancer who wishes to awaken the boys dormant magic for his own gain. All at once, Valmont is torn from his homeland and abandoned in a mystifying new world inhabited by horrifying beasts.

His only hope of returning to his home, his family, and the future he'd dreamed of is to survive the Mage Trials, but the journey that awaits him is long and harrowing. The various races of the land respond to Valmont in different ways. Some view him as a potential friend and ally, while others see him and his untethered magic as a threat that must be eliminated at any cost.

In his own opinion, Valmont is a poor substitute for a hero. But the people of his new home need him and he may be their only hope for survival. He knew the Trials wouldn't be easy, but he didn't anticipate just how much winning would cost.

Epyons Gambit

Eponys Gambit puts an interesting twist on the coming-of-age fantasy hero trope. Yes the story is about a youthful character who is "special", a youth who is I'll suited to his role as a knight's Squire leads to his near fatal wounding. His subsequent "rescue" by a Necromancer and other worldly trial are interesting twist.
The book seems heavily influenced by RPGs and at times almost feels like a LitRPG book, which I was fine with. The story definitely feels like Book 1 of a trilogy, so don't expect a clear resolution of the narrative. Giovani was the standout character of the story for me. Narrator Laurence Knott really brought our protagonist and sidekick to life, and added a varied cast of supporting characters to life too. Well worth a listen! 5☆
