Publisher's Summary

Now a student at Wurthaven, Will is confronted with the truth of the present.

The powerful magic embodied by wizards like his grandfather is but a distant memory. Though the practice of the current day is timid and uninspired, Will needs the knowledge that’s preserved and managed by the college. At every turn he finds that sorcery is supreme, while wizards are trained merely to assist and support those who hold the real power - a power based on an evil so deep that few who are living know the truth of its foundation.

As a student of wizardry, he’s expected to know his place and stay in it, but Will isn’t like the other students. His grandfather’s teaching has made him into something different, something forgotten - something they will learn to fear.

If he can grow into his power, with every choice, every refusal to submit, Will creates more enemies, enemies who aren’t content to let him live in peace. Without friends or support, Will must survive the knives in the dark, for Cerria is no place for those who refuse to follow the rules.

quite a gripping tale

loved it with no struggle to finish. the story grips onto you attention like no other. the narrator also delivers the characters quite well. though I do feel bad for his vocals when he voices the GD cat lol not sure if he does so in this book or the one after. but still very well done

Great book

This book was a roller coaster of emotional ups and downs.

The magic system was great and insightful.

Tim Gerald Reynolds was great as always.

Brilliantly written story

I'm loving the story so far! It has a brilliantly written plot, well developed magic system, and, my personal favorite part, the main character's development is front and center with parts of his personality and convictions traceable to events in this or the first book.

I hope it keeps up this quality throughout the series!

Harry Potter for mature audiences

I love this series! The narration is spectacular as well. If you loved Harry Potter when you were younger, than you will love this!

Action, humour and interesting magical world

This series has a lot of what I enjoy in fiction. It has great character development, description (but not to much or overly wordy), suspenseful action and interesting characters, and a great plot. It even has some funny parts with the grandfather character.

Amazing

I definitely recommend this book. The storyline is engaging and makes you want to find out what happens next. The narrator is the best
