Hedgewitch

Spellmonger, Book 14

By: Terry Mancour

Narrated by: John Lee

Secret societies and civil war....

After Alshari Court Wizard Pentandra survives her third assassination attempt in the Tower of Sorcery, she sends her deputy, Sir Rondal, to investigate the mysterious origins of the attempt while she contends with Alshari court politics. Matters come to a head when he and Kitten rescue an old woman and her grandson from certain death...only to discover she is the lost hedgewitch who gave Pentandra a book of secret prophecies about the future.

The tension rising in southern Alshar seems to break when the Duke and Duchess announce the relocation of the court to the summer capital of Vorone for a season. Pentandra intends to relax and manage her lands for the summer, safely away from assassins and undead. But her friend and liege, Minalan the Spellmonger, announces that he’s taking the summer off, too, dumping the responsibilities for leadership on her overburdened shoulders while he journeys on an expedition of exploration. What could possibly go awry?

Within days of the Spellmonger leaving, the Kingdom is plunged into a civil war between the knights of the kingdom, led by Prince Tavard, and the nascent power of the magi, led by Viscount Terleman. As the battles play out in rapid-fire fashion across Gilmora and the Wilderlands, Pentandra increasingly finds herself losing control of the situation. Not even the return of the Spellmonger from his expedition could be much help, as he has changed in ways that disturb both Pentandra and Ronda....

The only hope for relief and the future of the kingdom now seems to lie in the wrinkled hands of a very old, very wise hedgewitch!

Good book, good performance.

Decent story progression good voice acting. Seems like the books are getting shorter and more expensive, i am enjoying the conflict but it is recounting alot of the last book from another point of view. Book should have been longer for that reason alone but thats the only fault. Well enjoyed.

Fantastic entry to the series

Really enjoyed this book. The seamless combining the end of the last book into the middle of this book made for a complete story for all the main characters. Minalin is one bad dude and it’s really about to pop off in the coming books!

another great one

loved it most of it takes place during the events of the last book but really builds the story can't wait for the next one

Sheer brilliance

Title says it all. It’s almost scary that Terry can consistently know there books out of the park. Give us a chance to have a favourite! They’re all too good to be 2nd best.

But don’t stop what you’re doing.

why did it have to end here?

I love this series ! but why did it have to end here. man! it seems like the story was just about to heat up proper when I'm at the epilogue. when is the next book ?
