By: Michael G. Manning

Narrated by: Alex Wyndham

Mordecai has discovered his heritage and must take up the mantle of a lord of the realm, while figuring out what it really means to be a mage of the line of Illeniel.

He is beset on both sides by allies and enemies trying to control or destroy his future. Gods and kings both seek to manipulate him for their own ends, and no matter what he chooses his loved ones will suffer. Will he risk destroying his love with a bond that might be her death, or face the madness that comes to wizards who embrace power without restraint?

Good story, keeps you interested

This story keeps you interested and real life things happen to the character that keep the story interesting.nothing super or superior to other books but a great escape.

Realistic narrative, vivid

Nothing really. I think it’s a great book. A a a a a a a a a a

Even better than the first!

I love a good series that starts out strong and keeps getting stronger with each book.
I also love characters with spunk who grow against the grain, but in a good way.
So far so good on both fronts!!
I am becoming more enthralled with the series the more we learn about the history of mages, lineage of Mordecai & the politics that created the current circumstances we see playing out in this sstory.The "why's" of tradition, even if wrong.
No spoilers. I'll just say that I LOVE the family home!! I can't wait to see what wonders & history are hidden within!
I am very much looking forward to the next book!!
Off we go...

Fantastic Character

I am very picky about my fantasy stories. I really want to like the characters which keeps me involved with the story. This author does that very well.

Penelope is such an annoying idiot.

Penelope is such an idiotic, bossy and just all around unlikable character that treats Mort like he's an idiot baby that needs to be told what to do at every turn... it's just annoying to listen to, especially when he just accepts it. If I stop listening to the series, it will be because the audience is clearly supposed to like Penny but I can't stand her. The book would be better if she wasn't written into it.
