Advent of Ascension (New System, Who Dis? Book 1)

Brodie inhabits a world where superhumans called Hunters have emerged to battle monsters, transforming society into a high-stakes hierarchy where awakening the right abilities can change everything. What seems like a straightforward path to power becomes anything but simple when Brodie gains abilities that come with unexpected complications, including a literal demon companion and a mysterious death that may or may not have been self-defense. As he navigates the treacherous politics of powerful guilds in Windsor, Brodie begins to glimpse the edges of a larger conspiracy that threatens to unravel everything he thought he knew about this new supernatural world order.

Luke Daniels delivers a masterful performance that captures both the gritty realism of Brodie's struggles and the dark humor woven throughout DeBruyn's narrative. His vocal range brings distinct personality to each character, from scheming guild officials to otherworldly entities, while maintaining perfect pacing during intense action sequences and quieter character development moments. The nearly eighteen-hour runtime allows for deep world-building immersion, with Daniels' narration enhancing the tension as Brodie uncovers layer after layer of deception in this complex urban fantasy landscape.
