Publisher Description
Bestselling author Brandon Mull brings his newest blockbuster-ready fantasy series to Simon & Schuster Audio!
Jason Walker lives a predictable life: going to school, playing baseball, volunteering at the local zoo—until one day he falls through a tunnel near the hippo tank and ends up in a new, utterly different world. In Lyrian, the people dress differently, behave differently, and all live in fear of their malicious Emperor, Surroth. But in Jason’s search for a way home, he learns of a magical, ancient word that could destroy the terrifying Surroth.
With his accidental knowledge of one of the word’s six syllables, Jason finds himself in great danger and must embark on an epic quest to discover the remaining syllables and take down his powerful new enemy. Jason and his companion, Rachel—a fellow Beyonder who also arrived in Lyrian suddenly and without understanding why—must face challenges to their bodies, minds, and hearts and encounter places and people they can barely believe are real.
In a world with no heroes, and no hope, Jason finds himself faced with the prospect of becoming the hero he never imagined he could be.

"First, I think that the story is really well done. It moves fast enough to keep you engaged while also offering enough detail to get to know the characters and contect. Brandon Mull has a great imagination, I love the different races. Second, I think Jeremy Bobb rocks as a narrator! I can always tell who is speaking just by the changes and mannerisms he uses per character. I think he really enhances the experience. "

— Los Angeles Times -
“Mull moves his story at a brisk pace, preventing the tragedies from overwhelming the adventure, while offering ample action and feisty dialogue to keep fantasy lovers entertained.”

" This story has all new kinds of fantasy creatures in no other story. Fantastic. "
— Jeffery, 10/12/2021 -
" I absolutely love this series. If you like Ranger's Apprentice you would like this. Two kids from present day get transported to another reality. This book has them going on a quest for a word--each syllable in a different area of a world they don't know. The word is said to destroy an evil man. "

" I just could not get into this book, at least on audio so not sure if it was the narrator or the pedestrian plot and language. "

" Very, Very, compelling. Even though I loved fablehaven, this deffinently has potential to be better. "

" Very good. I thought it was much better than the Fablehaven books only because I felt that the characters age was appropriate to how he reacted to things. I'm excited for the next book!!! "
