Publisher's summary

Metamancer: (n) One talented in Metamancy, the magic of detecting, altering, canceling, and manipulating magic itself.

To escape political intrigue in the capitol, Sir Jared and Mage Madeline D'Abrac settled in a remote barony on the outskirts of the kingdom. Soon after, a baby in a basket appeared on their doorstep under mysterious circumstances. Fearing a connection to dark and powerful magic, they endeavor to raise him into a non-magical life as a warrior.

As he grows up, Johnny D'Abrac happily trains to be a knight like his father, and when he's old enough, he joins the guard to fight in the war with the elves. However, fate doesn't ask your opinion. Soon, death and intrigue interfere, and Johnny finds himself on a path he never dreamed of: apprentice to a wizard and friends with an elf. He yearns for stability, but the unseen machinations of others pull him in new directions as he tries to take control of his own life.

It doesn't help that he turns out to have the most feared talent of all, Metamancy, the magic of altering magic itself.

interesting world

This is a coming-of-age story. It comes with a twist that I like. I hope to get the whole series. This a a world I can get into. The performance is excellent. It started a bit slow as the main character's background was built. But then it got into gear and now I want more.
