About this listen
First was the realm of eternity. From the darkness came forth light, and the realm of eternity gave birth to the realm of the living. That is how the cycle began. This is the word of Elevation.
Destiny, personal responsibility, what the future holds—common concerns for anyone graduating high school. But usually not because of a cosmic war between timeless beings where you’re the central player.
As the end of school quickly approaches, and Cooper Bailey watches his perfect world slip away, his only concern is savouring every last minute of his high school career. For his best friend, Reid Patterson, graduation is a doorway to the future, where his discipline and focus will finally allow him to meet his true potential. When a mysterious mirror-masked man begs for their help to stop a dangerous heretic, Cooper and Reid find themselves thrust into unknown worlds, wrestling with a destiny as old as time itself. As the truths about their roles in the universe unfold, and enemies disguise themselves as allies, their only hope is to trust each other—and learn fast! Far from home and in mortal peril, Cooper and Reid attempt to hone their newfound abilities and come to grips with their purpose for being.
Inspired by classic and modern science fiction and fantasy, and drawing upon timeless themes of destiny and personal responsibility, The Elements of Time is a series written for anyone who loves an escape into a rich and deep world. Enjoy the first entry into this award winning new science-fantasy series!

A fantastic start of a series with well developed characters and incredible world building!
This book swept me away like a feather in the wind! I am blown away by the world building and intricacy of the plot, whilst being at the same time so damn entertaining and gripping!
This is a science fiction/fantasy novel and it’s the first installment in The Elements Of Tim. I am really excited to see what will happen in the next books! I listened to the audiobook and Scott Fleming, the narrator, did an amazing job, given all the different characters and their different ages.
The characters are fantastic and not only are they well characterised and developed, they feel real in every possible way! Their developmental arc is deeply emotional, and you can’t not root for them in every step of the story. Even the minor characters and the antagonists are multidimensional, which is proof of the amount of work that went into this book. I particularly loved the strong relationship between Cooper and Reid, but also how the author mixed up the depiction of the “nerd” and “sporty” stereotypes.
The story itself has a mix of adventure, time travel, elementals, a gripping mystery and it is also a coming of age. Although the main characters are teenagers, I didn’t feel at all that the audience target would be YA as I believe the themes explored in this book are universal and not bound to any age range.
If you are in need of a fantastic adventure with beautiful characters and important themes like destiny, responsibility and purpose in life, then this is a series you’ll love!
Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.
