Synopsis

Sonea knows the other novices in the Magicians' Guild all come from powerful families, but she also knows she can turn to Rothen and Dannyl for help when she needs it. That is, until someone starts spreading malicious rumours about her - and Akkarin, the High Lord, steps in. Prompted by the Guild Ambassador, Lord Dannyl leaves for the Elyne court. His first order from Administrator Lorlen is to resume, in secret, High Lord Akkarin's long-abandoned research into ancient magical knowledge. Not knowing the true reason for his journey, Dannyl is soon facing unexpected dangers. Meanwhile, Sonea has almost forgotten the High Lord's dark secret, but keeping the truth hidden may be a grave mistake.

Review

A great second book in the trilogy, once again the magic and adventure begins. However more is to come. With Sonea's knowledge of magic growing every day she begins to understand and grow. But Sonea is such an outcast what choices does she have, faced with a question that she doesn't understand in a world that is unknown.

This book journeys you though the tough times of being different, giving you questions to which you need to search for. I find the characters relate to those for which i've met in my own life, therefor welling up emotions to keep reading hoping that good prevails.If you loved ‘The Magicians' Guild' this is the next adventure you cannot miss.
