Seamage

Spellmonger, Book 18

De: Terry Mancour

Narrado por: John Lee

The war was the easy part....

Minalan the Spellmonger, in his guise as Mirkandar the Magnificent, Doge of Farise, is in a bind: the Duke of Merwyn has sent an armada of seventy ships to conquer his newly-independent realm...and Minalan has never fought a battle at sea. Thankfully, the legendary warmage Durgan Jole has a plan, and with the help of his fellow wizards from Sevendor, Minalan feels confident that Farise can survive the invasion. He doesn't want to kill that many people, but Merwyn has left him little choice.

But then one of the Vundel's leviathans and its pod swim into the middle of the battle, complicating things dramatically. And that's just the start of the real problem. An ancient organization lurks in the background while Minalan struggles for control, and the Emissary of the three Alka Alon High Kings has arrived to hold an investigation on the erratic human wizards and their rise to power. King Rard is growing suspicious of Mirkandar's real identity, and Korbal the Necromancer rises from his crypt to demand that the Spellmonger fulfill an oath he'd made. And, unsurprisingly, his teenage daughter is starting to question everything he's doing.

In the midst of the turmoil comes Moudrost, a Seamage and former member of the Brethren of the Sea, the magical order that alone communicates between the aquatic native inhabitants of Callidore and humanity. He bears a terrifying message: the appearance of the leviathan is no accident. It is coming to Farise, and it is coming for Minalan. It cannot be stopped by mortal men, not even wizards, and it is in no mood to negotiate. The only thing standing between the Vundel and the destruction of humanity now is Minalan the Spellmonger...and one very important Seamage!

The best story telling. Until the cliffhanger 🙄🙄😳

The story is great and narration beautifully done. Until the cliffhanger. When ending with a cliffhanger the follow up needs to be available within a month. The cliffhanger makes the storyline totally aggravating.

if you don't know. it's your loss.

one of the best in the series. so good. thank you for all the effort much appreciated. Definitely in my top 5 series of all time could be top 3 when it comes to the end. maybe top 2.

another masterpiece!

I absolutely loved it! it is a great continuation of the Farise story with many other story lines developing in parallel. can't wait for the next one!

Maybe the best book in the series to date!

I have listened and re-listened to this entire series more than a dozen times. It is my all time favorite.

I didn’t expect book 18 to be this fast paced, well written, masterfully performed, and wonderful.

If you are a Spellmonger fan, this is a must read. If you aren’t yet, start from book 1 (I am a bit jealous of you)

predictable but good

The previous books made most of the story somewhat predictable. The main confrontation was a bit surprising in the direction it took. I thought he would have been leaning into time magic more for battles. I imagine the formless minions will be making an appearance in the next book now. In the end it was good but not great.
