Who is Daniel Schinhofen?

Academies are the great engine of modern fantasy, and the Heavenly Chaos sequence puts one at its centre. Graduating with Honor, the instalment on our shelves, arrives well into that story, with the characters ranking up, the stakes rising, and the relationships between them as much a part of the plot as any combat.

Daniel Schinhofen writes in the progression register, where measurable advancement is the shape of the narrative rather than a decoration applied on top of it. Our catalogue spreads the book across fantasy and science fiction, which reflects a genre that borrows freely from both: magic systems built with the precision of engineering, and character growth you could practically read off a chart.

The audiobook runs to around nine and a half hours, narrated by Andrea Parsneau, whose clarity across a large cast is exactly what this corner of audio requires. Progression fantasy asks a narrator to keep many voices distinct over long stretches and to deliver the technical passages without deadening them.

Since this title sits some way into Heavenly Chaos, newcomers will get considerably more from it after meeting the series from its opening volume, whilst anyone already following along can pick straight up. Either way, the audiobook is below.
