Synopsis

"The Innocent Mage is come, and we stand at the beginning of the end of everything."

Being a fisherman like his father isn't a bad life, but it's not the one that Asher wants. Despite his humble roots, Asher has grand dreams. And they call him to Dorana, home of princes, beggars, and the warrior mages who have protected the kingdom for generations.

Little does Asher know, however, that his arrival in the city is being closely watched by members of the Circle, people dedicated to preserving an ancient magic.

Asher might have come to the city to make his fortune, but he will find his destiny.

I really underestimated this book. I have seen it several times but never bothered to read it. It looked okay, but I wasn't really drawn to it. Boy was I wrong.

Goodreads review by Shannon on March 08, 2008

The first book of a two-book series, Canadian-Australian author Miller is a refreshing new voice in the genre. Set in the kingdom of Lur, the two races, Doranen and Olken, live alongside each other with a precarious balance: the Doranen, who came down through the mountains fleeing the evil mage Morg......more

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on August 23, 2012

I looked at this book several times. I passed it by on all those occasions. I suppose I always thought I'd maybe pick it up at some point but really, it's not the type book I usually get involved in (or at least didn't seem to be). The synopsis led me to believe that at best I'd find it mildly inter......more
