Wizardmont

The Promise of the Stones #1

by Michael W. Lowe

"When Emory of Amur decides to apply for an apprenticeship with Abath the Wizard, he has no idea of the ordeal to come. He assumes that mastering the spirits and powers that move out of sight of his untrained eye will be a challenge, but he never expects to be caught in a desperate quest to preserve the freedom of his homeland.
When the sorcerer Tolrak launches a war of conquest, Abath is forced to cut short the apprenticeships of Emory, his friend Tostan, and the enigmatic Asurane. Surprising events and unexpected twists of fate then leave Emory and Tostan standing alone against the sorcerer.
Emory and Tostan must summon every skill and tool at their command-magic, intellect, skills with the sword, and the speed of their horses-to overcome the might of the sorcerer and his army. Wizardmont will sweep you along as Emory embarks on a journey filled with magic, adventure, and battles of the sword, heart, and mind."

[K.A. Doran · Rating 5 out of 5]

I bought this book at the strong recommendation of a friend not knowing what to expect of this author. It starts with two very likeable young men applying for apprenticeships with a master wizard. Their talents take them to different lands and pits them against an evil sorcerer who uses daimons to collect powerful magical stones. It was a fast-paced, fun and imaginative story for all ages. Just when you think you know what's going to happen, you get the carpet pulled out from under you! In Bryunzet, The sequel to Wizardmont, the writing gets even better!
