Publisher's Summary

The Spellmonger in exile!  

When Minalan the Spellmonger was exiled from his beloved mageland of Sevendor by Prince Tavard, his friend Duke Anguin made him Count Palatine of the Magelaw, a vast realm in the Alshari Wilderlands that Minalan is all too familiar with. After the goblin invasion, the province is devastated, ruined, and peopled almost only by freed slaves. But Minalan has brought his recovering wife and family into exile with him, and he views their impoverished fief as an opportunity to build a new City of Magi in the wilderness.  

To assist, he recruits some of his closest friends among the High Magi: Mavone, the military intelligence specialist; Sandoval, the Marshal in charge of recruiting Minalan’s army; Carmella, whose genius for defensive magics will be key; Gareth, whose ambition to create knows no bounds; and Terleman, perhaps the greatest tactical warmage of his time.  

Together, Minalan knows that they can build his new city, Vanador, into an anvil that can blunt the thrust of the dark forces that rise against them. For the first of three Nemovorti have come to the Penumbra, and Gaja Katar has vowed to wipe humanity from the face of the world. Yet he is far from the worst of Minalan’s worries. For the powerful Sea Folk have sent an emissary to see the Spellmonger, and the news he bears will change the fate of all.  

Minalan’s only hope is to rely on his cunning, and his ability as a Thaumaturge!

Great World Building

An enjoyable addition to the series. I like the world building present in this book though I do hope we encounter a competent foe soon.

Amazing!

The best fantasy series I've heard. amazing story,amazing characters,amazing battles. This gets better and better every audio book. also John Lee as narrorator is by far the best choice that could have been made for this series. Thank you Terry for your imaginative ability and sharing it with us all.

In love with the series

The actor is hilarious, the sarcasm and witt sometimes predictable only because the characters are so well developed.

on to the next book

Shoot me now!

I keep saying I'm not going to listen to any more of this series because so much of it is just blathering on about how to setup a feudal estate, and yet here I am again. And AGAIN over half this book can be skipped. Or slept through. Good Lord! I don't care how many sheep or how much corn seed is needed. Absolute waste of time. I kept waiting for something exciting or of note to occur and nope. Nada. Skipped through to Part 3. Not much there either. Honestly it's like a TV soap opera.... you can skip huge chunks of it and nothing has happened! John Lee is lovely to listen to as usual and the only saving grace of this whole train wreck. Terry, please.... either write a thesis on running a feudal manor, or write a wizard book. Pick one! Stop trying to do both and call it a good story! It's not.

A bit dry

Although I’ve loved the majority of the books in this series. The first half of this book ready more like a text book, very dry. There was a great deal of detail on the set up of the new city that added little to the overall storyline. The second half of the book got back to the wonderful characters, action and story telling.
