"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic....” (Arthur C. Clarke)

She didn’t mean to use magic. She didn’t even know she had magic. She just wanted to save her brother, who was dying in her arms.

Accused of using illegal magic and sentenced to a cruel death at the hands of the Arcadian Guards, Hannah has no choice but to trust in the aid of a strange, old wizard who offers her the gift of unimaginable power.

But power has consequences, and soon, Hannah is at the center of a citywide war to take back the future that was stolen from them.

Can she control the power that courses through her? Can she unite a team of heroes from different walks of life? Can she bring justice to Arcadia?

The Rise of Magic is an epic fantasy, set in the far future, where magic and monsters ravage the land of Irth and only the strong survive.

Set on the foundation laid by the Kurtherian Gambit series, the Rise of Magic tells an entirely new story of the future of our world and of the heroes and villains who battle for control of its destiny.

Listen now and discover the Rise of Magic....

Rise of Magic Boxed Set One includes the first full arc of the series (audiobooks one to four):

  • Restriction
  • Reawakening
  • Rebellion
  • Revolution

Book 1 Restriction:
Restriction is an offshoot of the wildly popular Kutherian Gambit series and the authors did a wonderful job of keeping the theme awareness alive but giving the new series it’s own flare & structure. The story is entertaining, engaging, magical, and tragic. The characters are likable and believable. Book 1 is definitely a “build up book” for more things to come and not all storylines are tied up at the end of this story. The narrator did a great job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene! I’m definitely looking forward to book 2!

Book 2 Reawakening:
Book 2 in the Rise of Magic series takes up where book 1 leaves off. The team gathers resources to plan their next step all while remaining incognito and hidden. I really like this series! The characters are likable and believable. Their strength of morality and street hardness just draws you in! Looking forward to book 3! The narrator did a fantastic job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene!

Book 3 Rebellion:
The story starts where book 2 lets off. The team’s infiltration continues but the enemy is weary and.... There is a torture scene, that thankfully doesn’t go into the majority of the detail it could have. The underdogs are real, likable, and believable. The book nicely adds to the overall story arc. The narrator did a great job!

Book 4 Revolution:
Nice finish with several battles. I really like how the story has concluded. Several threads are wrapped up but the future is still open. Looking forward to the next book! The narrator did a great job!

Restriction: The Rise of Magic, Book 1 my first read/listen from author C.M. Raymond. I love this incredible amazing story, the personality of the characters and the voice inflections of the narrator.
Reawakening: The Rise of Magic, Book 2 my second read/listen from author C.M. Raymond picks up where Book 1 left off. Well developed characters, a story line that grew on you as you continued until you couldn’t wait to read the finish.
Rebellion: The Rise of Magic, Book 3 my third read/listen from author C.M. Raymond picks up where Books 1 & 2 left off. I can’t wait to read book 4 in the series. I’m sure that author C.M. Raymond has more good writing waiting in the wings!
AMAZING! Revolution: Age Of Magic - A Kurtherian Gambit Series (The Rise of Magic Book 4) my fourth read/listen from author C.M. Raymond picks up where Book 3 left off. I love this incredible amazing fantasy. Reminiscent of The Lord of The Rings in scope, the personality of the characters and the voice inflections of the narrator add depth to the listening experience. Well developed characters, a story line that continues to grow on you as you continued until you couldn’t wait to read the finish. A problem with audio books is that you can’t just read faster as the excitement mounts to get to the end faster. I can’t wait to read book 5 in the series. I’m sure that author C.M. Raymond has more good writing waiting in the wings! (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

4.0 out of 5 stars The series gets better as it goes on

For a series I almost gave up on because of the really corny and confusing prologue, I really grew to enjoy the rest of the series. Enough that I am going to try a couple of other books in the universe.

Not the next in this series, but only because I need a break... I can't binge watch series on Netflix either. I might just come back to read on in a few months.

As for this series itself... it was certainly different from anything else I have read. A bit of myth (magic, druids, dwarves called rearick, werewolvrs, etc) with sci-fi (futuristic technology)... The language and heroes can be crass but it mostly works. The only one it really didn't make sense with was the Druid who was a bit too vulgar for someone who grew up in some isolated, peaceful community. I want to read more about the Druids but worry because of that. But it's a minor thing. My main recommendation is not to let the prologue of book one deter you. It doesn't even have any relevance to the series so far. It could simply be deleted if not revised.

Hannah doesn't come from the right side of town, so her magic comes from trickery and slight of hand. but when she accused of having the forbidden talent and her family suffers, Hannah learns there is more to living than what someone else has told you all your life. she sets out to help some friends and becomes a gift to her city.

great fun. loved the characters and really loved the concept behind the magic. eagerly waiting for the next set!!

I enjoyed this set of books. Love “Zeke” and his ability to build a team. Dislike the constant and silly use of foul language. Not sure why or what it brings to the story. It seems writers today think that adding foul language adds to the story yet it truly shows a lack of ability to articulate without profanity. Sad as the writers do a good job of the story.

The characters stand alone on their own merits but together they are remarkable. This runs in the same line as the Arcadian Druid series (which I also rate 5 stars). The plot twists and revelations keep you reading. I won't give away any spoilers but the Series is definitely worth the read.

Reviewed in Canada on April 17, 2019

This fantasy has key elements: an old wise wizard returning from a long absence, a young apprentice with exciting potential, and a social setting where ordinary people are controlled by brute force and restricted magic. Part of it is the coming of age of the girl apprentice, who has the potential of mastering several types of magic together. There is also friendship between the apprentice and people she knew before discovering magic. And over all is the challenge to free the people from autocratic control. Good book.

Some series tend to loose focus, becoming repetitive. If your a fan of fantasy, as I am, red these books and their authors as the don’t loose their threads, even through overlapping series. I am looking forward to reading more
