Desil has spent his life training, but a promise to his mother has kept him from using his abilities for anything worthwhile. Now all he does is help his mother manage her tavern as his father rests in a grave. Desil knows there's at least one other mage somewhere in this territory who can do what he can; they share a connection through their magic, although they've never met. He stays up nights wondering what they might be able to accomplish together.

When an opportunity to not only meet this mage but change the course of his future finally presents itself, Desil jumps at the chance. A great leader has disappeared, leaving clues that only Desil and this other mage can see. War is coming, and following the clues could mark Desil as a traitor, but he trained his whole life for something. If this isn't it, then what is? He might unearth a new power capable of ending war, or he might die trying. Either is better than doing nothing.

Off to buy the second one! A great fast pace. Very good job by the narrator.

great book

The character imbalances were not something that I could get past. Felt like Sword of Truth series where a strong protagonist male character was constantly apologetic and demurring to other characters. Not for me. May be good for someone who enjoys the Sword of Truth novels.

Unable to Finish

I've read the book before and I love hearing good narrators do the books justice, worth a chance if you like unique magic systems

Simon Vance’s performance… once again great. Downloaded mage for nowhere. That Nick Podehl idiot ruined another of BT Narros great stories.

Simon Vance is brilliant

I purchased this book based on the reviews of others but was disappointed. The concept seemed interesting, but just did not seem to go anywhere.

I struggled to finish it and kept hoping that it would get better, but in my opinion, the story never really worked the way it was written. I am not sure if I will try another in the series.

Bummer...

This book reminds me of the book: Song of Edmon where the main character had incredible abilities, well liked and loved. Yet, the main character starts the story in one place and finishes there! Where is the growth?

We start out with a young man doing what is right and in accordance with the law which lands him on an adventure. This adventure unfolds throughout the book which is what we follow as we read along.

The story line is develop’s with a few surprises. We see the main character who is a young man not really growing which was interesting because of the adventure they’re on in the book/story line. I would have thought there would have been a lot of growth and character changes. All the other characters had some kind of growth and change, but not the main character!

The story is a good one which holds your attention, but has no surprises! It flows really well and the author had to have put some thought into it along with foresight and planning! I can see the series being able to go on for a long time to come if the main character grows!

Good story, limited character growth

Maybe I'm just partial to "wordy" authors and that's why it's not as impactful as I'd expect. I still plan on finishing the series, I just don't think this one will stick with me.

I enjoyed it but it feels to be missing depth.

way better than the prequel. It was cool to see that Mason wasn't all powerful just strong

great Spin Off
