Now playing: A Champion Falls (The Chain Breaker)

This week’s list includes A Champion Falls (The Chain Breaker), from D.K. Holmberg. Press play and stay for every chapter.

Gavin’s connection to a new power makes him a target. Having defeated Chauvan, Gavin now controls the strange destructive nihilar power. Though content back among his friends, his presence in Yoran makes the city a target. When Gavin learns that an ancient enemy has returned to target the El’aras, he wants to help, but doing so exposes Yoran to whatever Chauvan plans. He’s learned he can’t defeat Gavin alone, but what kind of allies will he find? Ancient powers are active in the world, and they all seem intent on destroying Gavin. As preparations go awry, Gavin finds himself far from those he vowed to protect. To return, he must come to understand everything he’s been taught about magic—all while unable to reach it. He’s been many things in his life. Assassin. Chain Breaker. Champion. Now he must find a way to be something more. If he fails, all he cares about will fall.
