To his own surprise, young Kellen, once the disappointing son of the great Mage who leads the City’s Mage Council, has become a powerful Knight-Mage. Valued for his bravery and his skills as both wizard and warrior, Kellen joins the Elves' war councils. Yet he cannot convince the City of his birth that it is in terrible danger.

Kellen’s sister Idalia, a Wild Mage with great healing ability, has pledged her heart to Jermayan, a proud Elven warrior. Someday Idalia will pay a tragic price for a world-saving work of Wild Magic, but until then, she will claim any joy life can offer her.

Jermayan, who has learned much fighting at Kellen's side and loving the human Idalia, finds that everything changes when he bonds with a dragon while rescuing the Elf Prince and becomes the first Elven Mage in a thousand years. Furious at her enemies' success with the dragon, the Demon Queen attacks in force. Light struggles against Dark, like flickering candle flames buried deep in the shadow of Obsidian Mountain.

Books 1 & 2 are great.....WHERE IS BOOK #3. I agree with the others, please add it to our offerings. This is worse that a TV show cliff hanger, at least with them you know next season the rest of the story will be availiable.

this is a good story and has a lot of great moments in it. Susan Ericson gives a phenomenal performance narrating the story and performing the characters. Cast of characters is good and each one unique and memorable. Definitely a good read and can't wait to finish the last book.

Wonderful story

I grew up reading this book and did so several times. It was great getting to listen to it since I’m so busy as a new mom. My only gripe was choice of narrator. Ericksen did a wonderful job, I just found it distracting that it wasn’t a male narrator since the main character was in fact a man. In fact, MOST of the characters are male lol personal preference.

Love book

Would you consider the audio edition of To Light a Candle to be better than the print version?

I always listen to books and read them so, yes in this case. I do

Who was your favorite character and why?

I couldn't decide.

What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Clarity and pronunciation of names that I would have driven myself mad with

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

How do you live in a world where the magic changes and the balance of light and dark is constantly in flux?. Who do you trust wren even the good guys have gone bad?

Any additional comments?

This is a series that you can enjoy with your children as well as alone.
