About this listen

Adam Foreman was a pig farmer... until one mistake cost him everything.

In a brutal dark fantasy world sealed inside an immense mountain basin known as The Bottoms, Adam watches his parents dragged toward execution for a crime he committed. When a desperate escape ends in bloodshed and loss, Adam flees into the forbidden caves of the Rim of the World, where he awakens an ancient, forbidden magic never meant for mankind.

The return of magic does not bring salvation. It brings corruption.

As Adam struggles to survive and control a devastating power bound to his soul, a demonic entity known as Sallos begins spreading influence across the realm—seducing rulers, enslaving the desperate, and twisting magic into something monstrous. Every spell carries a cost. Every choice risks damnation.

Caught between grief, vengeance, and the corruption growing within himself, Adam must decide what kind of man he will become… before the world is reshaped in darkness.

A dark epic fantasy novel perfect for listeners who love flawed heroes, dangerous magic systems, moral consequence, and grim worlds where power always demands a price.

This is the beginning of The Corruption Within series.

This story really got to me. I felt so bad for the main character; he’s just a pig farmer who loses everything because of one mistake. It’s pretty heartbreaking. The narrator did an amazing job bringing that pain to life. Their voice was so clear and easy to listen to, which made the dark parts feel even more real. It’s a scary world, but I couldn't stop listening. It really makes you think about the price of power.
