About this listen
A young swordsman must retrieve a magical blade—and learn the truth about his past—in this fantasy adventure set within the Arcane Ascension universe.
A young man lives among the trees of a primeval forest, raised by a wizened old sage and friend to the faeries and spirits of his home. He bears only half a name—Lien, an ancient word meaning "blade" or "edge"—and no knowledge of his heritage. As he grows, so too does his need for independence and answers. Thus, he begins his adventure, seeking a shattered sword and the truth behind the mysterious mark on his right hand.
To earn his freedom from his adoptive grandfather, Lien will seek to complete the trials of Anathema, a long-hidden weapon of devastating power. To succeed, he must master his own burgeoning power, learning swordplay and magic from fractured figments of ancient legends. Though his training will push him to the brink, failure comes at an even greater cost. For only with his talents fully forged will Lien stand a chance against his true foe: destiny itself.
Set within New York Times–bestselling author Andrew Rowe's Arcane Ascension universe, and inspired by Japanese manga and role-playing games, Edge of the Woods is the first volume of an epic new fantasy series perfect for fans of The Legend of Zelda.

Great story, engaging performance and fun fantasy!
I really enjoyed the tale of Edge and his growth, the level up element to the magic system and the fey environment that the story is based in. Also, it's a nice tie in to characters from his other books. Very good book, would recommend!

excellent voice work
I live these books but a are best enjoyed with another activity. there is alot of detail and world building which I personally enjoy nut this comes at the expe se of story progression speed. I like being immersed in this universe but if you wa let something leaner and more to the point this is not the book for you. however if you love interesting ideas and explorations of magic systems you will find this book and setting a real treat.

Andrew Rowe has never written a bad book
This feels very much like an attempt to incorporate “How to defeat a demon king” into his new world which is cool. I can’t wait to read the sequel and see how it fits into the world as a whole

A swing a miss by Andrew Rowe
Let me preface this by stating I like Andrew Rowes book a great deal. Arcane Ascension and Weapons and Wielders are both fantastic series, with alot to like.
This first book in a new series, just feels well like Andrew was trying to jam round peg into a square hole. The characters are one dimensional or just easy ways to keep the plot and the main character moving on and stronger quicker.
A book that had very little substance and alot of foreshadowing and build up but didn't give me enjoy enjoyment to want to keep listening.

Don’t waste your money
Despite the fact that the author’s previous books are usually drawn out, presumably with the intention of writing an unfinished cash-cow series, I gave this a go.
The narrator used the same intonation and voices for characters used previously and, whilst the story was, at least, from a different perspective, it was nothing new. Nothing that is, until the author decided to casually include the current, fashionable, gender ideology by way of characters deciding which sex he would be for that year. At the point where the protagonist reminisces over how he helped stitch a child’s first breast binder, I stopped listening.
Firstly, this practice has been proven to be dangerous. Secondly, I’m sick of having this ideology rammed down my throat. Will he espouse the virtues of anorexia next? If the author wishes to hold those values, he’s quite welcome to do so without expecting me to pay to hear them.
I won’t be buying any more of his books, even if he deigns to complete the previous sets.
