The Arcane Lord

By: Alex Prone, Marcus Sloss

Narrated by: Amber Hartt

A dilapidated estate, a cute water mage, a witty kitsune, and a treasure worth risking your life for. Julian never thought that graduating from the Ironfist Academy would be the easy part. Returning to his ancestral manor, he’s greeted by crumbling walls, growing debts, and a father who’s conveniently disappeared. To top it off, someone is intent on making his new role as lord as difficult as possible. Armed with magic and a lot of nerve, Julian must juggle the ancient art of estate management. Luckily, he's not alone. An old sweetheart, who happens to be a bashful water mage with immense power, is joined by a kitsune archer with a sharp tongue that's only matched by her deadly aim. With both ladies by his side, there are whispers of a new Arcane Lord. To save the estate financial issues, they hunt for a treasure that everyone seems to want, but no one can find. As they unravel the mysteries piling up faster than his father’s unpaid bills, Julian learns that being a lord might just be the ultimate adventure, especially when your allies are as magical and wondrous as your enemies are menacing.

Very fun story

His land is in ruin, and his father and mother are both missing. What’s a young lord to do? Go looking for them, and try to salvage his house, of course!

I enjoyed this story and look forward to the next installment! Very glad he got his mom back!

Plot was figured out right away but even having it figured out was still a good listen

Not much was to terrible in my opinion easy to understand and listen to maybe to much sex scene carried on long

a great first book

Family can be great joy or great sorrow, when another is jealous of something or someone he doesn't have. They may try to ruin you in revenge, be stronger and gather more friends to stand strong.

Looks to be a great start to a new series.

Lots of exciting action and great characters in this HaremLit series starter.
The system and the magic is pretty cool.
The story drew me in and kept me interested the whole time.
Gonna have to find some other books to bide my time until book 2 comes out.
I'm giving this book 7.5 out of 5 stars.

Love!

This narrator is amazing and I love everything that Marcus Sloss writes, he's definitely my fav author in this genre!

Amazing narration also inwas surprised with how much I liked the story and the MC but the fights were just too long amd they just kept dragging on and on

right in my wheelhouse

this story has everything I like. likable mc and supporting cast, great narrator, magic system, sword play and dungeon diving. solid start and I'm looking forward to more.

Loved it!

An enchanting adventure brimming with magic, wit, and charm! Julian’s struggle to revive his ancestral estate with the help of a bashful water mage and a sharp-tongued kitsune archer is both heartwarming and thrilling. The captivating narration and delightful character dynamics make this audiobook an absolute must-listen for fantasy lovers.

Good, but Strange Pacing

Decent book held back by awkward pacing. It feels like a weird mixture of break neck pace to stop the apocalypse followed up by the characters feeling like they can just kick back and relax. It gave a weird feeling when the romance would usurp the pace and how all characters can put all worries and death aside.
All in all, it's not bad, a decent read for anyone looking for a fantasy story.

A good fantasy story

Amber, the narrator, does an excellent job!
The story is engaging and entertaining.
