Origin Scroll is the first volume of the Targa Trilogy and the cornerstone of the epic fantasy Alcea Collection which spans sixteen volumes in three series.
Alexander Tork is an apprentice lumberman, a fifteen year old who is forced to take the lead when his village is attacked by a pack of vicious beasts. But darker things lurk in the lands of Targa and Cordonia, an evil questing for an artifact that will shake the very Universe. Alex, and two more unknown youths, Oscar and Jenneva, are the only ones who can prevent the end of their universe... they just don't know it yet.

I think this was a great book!! It was a little slow at first, but i couldn't wait to continue to listen the next day when i returned to work!! :-) I am excited to continue the trilogy!!By: craig
Nice effort, and entertaining enough, but I'm afraid I cannot say this is one of Podiobooks.coms greats. The plot line was interesting enough if simple, and the writing journeyman, again, if a bit simple. The main problem I ran into was when the girl magician inexplicably killed the old mage, and went to the dark side. I assume this was a ruse, she faked it somehow, bit the twist was so abrupt and inconsistent and unentertaining that I stopped listening. I think I might come back to it if I exhaust all the other wonderful titles on Podiobooks.com, but I'm not certain that's possible. For a pure fantasy fan, someone who likes novel worlds, I think this is, none the less, a good choice.By: Joni
Richard, I agree wholeheartedly with Dwight and am greatly looking forward to more of your books on Podiobooks to listen to myself and share with my daughter and nieces. Keep up the good work!
