About this audiobook
One moment he's mid-bout at a HEMA tournament in Homebush Olympic Park. The next, reality folds, the crowd goes wrong, and the city starts rewriting itself around him.
Cal survives the first wave on instinct,route-reading, site-worker reflexes, and a modified training sword the system has decided to take an interest in. But surviving the rupture is the easy part.
Holding ground is something else entirely.
To protect the people sheltering in the Olympic Park underworks, Cal needs more than quick feet. He needs a class, a build, and a set of rules he can actually use under fire. The Spellblade path fits the way he already fights—socket-driven, agility-forward, and brutal in tight spaces.
Sydney isn't just collapsing. It's activating. And Homebush is sitting on top of something the system considers worth fighting over.
