“The Nothing Mage” by Justin Thorne is the tale that sweeps listeners into an immersive experience of triumph and turmoil. With the enthralling voice of Spencer Dillehay embracing each sentence, the audiobook seizes your attention like a tempest seizing the sails.
At the heart of this absorbing tale is Eric, who, rather than wielding the conventional elemental magic, commands the raw magic known as Null. A torrent of raw energy that often leaves naught but devastation in its wake, Null magic ostracizes Eric from his community. He finds solace in his mentor, Lieutenant Solyr, who takes him under his wing. Together, they traverse through the Divinities, facing sorcerers, mythical creatures, and an endless sea of adventures.
Within the Divinities, Eric’s path converges with that of Princess Anabelle, who is daring, resolute, and skilled in the art of diplomacy. The shadow of her regal lineage looms over her as she struggles to fulfill her responsibilities, and as fate would have it, she becomes an ally and confidant of Eric. Their destinies entwine as they encounter the dreaded Taldan Empire, a nefarious empire harboring sinister motives.
Determined to protect his land and loved ones, Eric advances his command over Null. He is aided by his friends, including Patti, the resourceful and sagacious healer, and Declan, the astute and valiant spellsword. Together, they form a bulwark against the looming storm of war.
It is worthy to mention that Justin Thorne has also authored other mesmerizing tales. To Flail Against Infinity and This Quest Is Broken! are good examples for those who like moving on in the flow which they have enjoyed in this story.
As the saga escalates, the stakes rise to towering heights. Eric, now known as the Nothing Mage, becomes a beacon of hope for his land. Yet, with great power comes the danger of losing oneself. His prowess in Null magic becomes both an armor and a shackle. The once scorned magic now defines him, as the shades of grey blur and choices lay heavy upon his shoulders.
