Summary

Create lycanthropes. Give them elemental powers. Save the world.

Jerrell Hawkins has a plan. He’s going to marry Nadine Hartwell, study magic at University, and serve his kingdom in the ongoing war in the prestigious Orichalcum Company led by the hero of the realm. To do this, he needs to obtain a Class. When his plan to create a new, powerful spellcasting class fails, he fears all is lost. Then an enemy sleeper agent burns down his world and Nadine is infected with lycanthropy.

But Jerrell’s pursuit of a new Class leaves him with strange, controversial abilities. He can create and bond lycanthropes. What’s more, he’s learning to use elemental magic. Along with Nadine, now his bonded companion, he enlists in the military to enact vengeance for the destruction of their home.

Their enemies are numerous, their abilities make their allies uncomfortable, and nothing is simple. Not even the fate of the world, which just might rest on Jerrell Hawkins’ shoulders.

Good world-building, problems with narration

The magic system and world building were good with this book, the overall plot was interesting, but the harem elements were clumsily-written and added little to nothing to the book and for the sake of those who aren't really interested in that element in their books, it would be helpful if the author mentions it in the description of the audiobook.

The narration was a definite problem for me with this book, while there weren't any major problems with the tone, the amount of mispronunciations were extremely annoying, the word synergy was integral to the magic system and thus cropped up several times per chapter and as it was getting pronounced wrongly each time it got so annoying that I was close to stopping listening to a book I was otherwise enjoying.

Overall, an interesting premise with a narration that badly hampered my enjoyment of it.
