About This Audiobook

The second installment of this adventurous fantasy sees Lillith reaching daring new heights—and some dangerous lows.

Lillith has always possessed the ability to feel the grief of the people around her. But now she can harness it and put it to use as well. That said, her recent exploits have labeled her a monster and a villain, specifically “the Mage of Mourning.” This title is a nod to both the carnage she leaves in her wake and the tools she implements in the process. But Lillith doesn’t need a good reputation. She doesn’t even need this life. And she certainly doesn’t need to keep her hands free of blood.

Now, despite having helped as many people as possible in Satusmor, giving the common folk there access to basic necessities, Lillith’s job is far from done. She’s determined to wreak a little havoc in the city of Visenar, but unfortunately, havoc has a lot in store for her. She’ll need the help of an intriguing woman named Sarafyna, who has her own powers and complex history—and who interests Lillith in more ways than one . . .

Things get more complicated every day, what with new friends and foes, the unseen Collector, and the mysterious, sacred Radiant Woods. But abolishing slavery, encouraging the widespread use of mana, and ending the monarchy isn’t going to happen overnight.

Featuring a brash, brainy heroine who wields magic, kicks ass, and still makes time for romance, the Otherworldly Anarchist series is perfect for fans of female-centric progression fantasy.

The second volume of the hit isekai adventure series—with almost a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

★★★★★

A messy journey

Messy, and yet exceedingly tidy for what the erosion of power generally yields.The world in this story is small. The methods of control are external. The path to equality is simple, for the shackles are simple as well.But simplicity is not the same as ease. Even as our revolutionary protagonist…

Rebellion

I enjoyed the rebellious actions in the city, but the Woods are too strange for my taste.

A truly good book

A fantastic second in the series. One of the coolest introductions of a new character I've ever seen. Great pacing. It made me think, feel, laugh, and cry. Not a popcorn read but something that will stay with me always.

★★★★★

Magic, injustice, and righteous furry fueled by grief.

Fantasy with righteous furry. Many times with books like this the characters go several steps too far. Becoming cruel in ways that eventually turn me off. Here the characters masterfully walk up to that line, sometimes stepping too far, to be pulled back by family, friends and guilt.If I had…
