About this listen

Mage Errant: Publisher's Pack contains books one and two of the Mage Errant series.

Into the Labyrinth, book one

Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely cast any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively. If that wasn't bad enough, he's also managed to attract the ire of the most promising student of his year - who also happens to be the nephew of a king. Hugh has no friends, no talent, and definitely doesn't expect a mage to choose him as an apprentice at all during the upcoming Choosing.

When a very unusual mage does choose him as apprentice, however, his life starts to take a sharp turn for the better. Now all he has to worry about is the final test for the first years - being sent into the terrifying labyrinth below Skyhold.

Jewel of the Endless Erg, book two

After surviving Skyhold's deadly labyrinth, Hugh and his friends are looking forwards to an uneventful summer. Their teacher, Alustin, has chartered a sandship for a training expedition into the vast sea of sand known as the Endless Erg, aiming for the wealthy and powerful desert city of Theras Tel. Hugh's happier than he's been in a long, long time, and he's quite excited for the fresh air, sunshine, and quiet.

Of course, given Hugh's luck, their summer is going to be anything but quiet. They're about to be plunged into a morass of pirates, monsters, warring cults, flesh-tearing sandstorms, and a conspiracy against Indris Stormbreaker, the dragon queen of Theras Tel herself.

At least Hugh's going to get plenty of fresh air and sunshine.

Light and delightful

Fun fast easy fantasy novel that literally any age can enjoy. The author has taken the time to world build a little and lay the foundation for a lot of future threads. There is a decent magic system with limits and constructs, but also room for creativity. Magic isn't some hand waving silver bullet, the characters have to work and grow.

I'm looking forward to the next volume!

Great story

This was a great story about a coming of age. It was a wonderful world built with plenty of magic.

Keeps you going

I liked how the characters and their development kept you going, even though at times it seems rushed or making big jumps in the storyline.


There's not an author out there that does not have some sort of rapid growth or testing of gifts that leap ahead of where the character should be.

Still, this book kept me coming back and even "rereading" several chapters.

I liked it but MC is an imbecile

So the MC is one of the if not the most stupidest characters I’ve had the pleasure of reading about. The beginning half of the book just irks me sometimes because the MC had no backbone, asked stupid stupid questions and stared off into space like a moron a lot. Hope the series has some serious character growth cause this guy needs a new spine.

Young Adult - Decent

Seemed patronizing and a little naive at times, the story lines, but it was an interesting overall arc to the stories. I don't think it's recommend it unless you really like going adult fantasy, maybe even middle grade.

Pretty good book.

This book is a lot better than I thought it would be.

I'm glad I spent the credit.

Great series! “HUGH-Y” Potter

I get the comparisons but it’s really quite different and worth use of a credit for sure.

Misfit School Fantasy

Some of the characters were slightly one dimensional. I was surprised by one character at the end and thought there should have been more hints about his character. The world building was well planned. The first book's story arc was a little flat, but the second was excellent . It had a satisfying conclusion with enough loose edges to make you want to read the next book.

Very good story

I really enjoyed this series. I felt it started off a little slow, but I stuck with it on a long car ride and by the end of Book 1, I was totally hooked! It’s got great characterization and world- building. I’m looking forward to more of this series!
