After surviving the last attack on Conlin, I now serve as the city’s protector while studying with Nik as he teaches me the magic he learned from the Druist Mage. It’s knowledge I’ll need if I’m ever going to be able to kill him—and prevent his marriage to Devan.
The power I’ve demonstrated has drawn the attention of something else, a power unlike anything I’ve ever faced, and one that intends to test me. If I fail, not much will happen—only that the balance of magic is disrupted and the barrier between our world and that on the other side of the Threshold will fall.
I’ve got three days to prepare, and I know that won’t be enough to get ready, but what choice do I have?
Good series with just enough suspense and twists. I mean this is a hero series so you know this unlikely hero might find a way to win but the journey to get there is what makes books like these interesting. Well this series does that. It could use a little less repeat back story at the start of each book but after that there is little repetition. Oh, I wonder what D. K. has dreamed up next.
I don't love this series like I do the other ones that DO Holmberg writes, but it is still captivating. It makes me think about how the trials we face make us stronger and teach us more than we care to admit. This series has a little language but it is not so much that it has stopped my reading..I am too invested to stop!
I have been waiting so long for this book to come out and I was not disappointed other than I have more questions than answers! Everything we thought we knew from the previous books through Olivers eyes may not be what he or we thought.
Another series finished. Well finished for now. I enjoy escaping in these worlds that Mr. Holcomb creates. His characters are developed well and the storyline is captivating.
This series of books just keep drawing you in Very well written, characters evolving and interesting, new Ones added just as fascinating but clever how your left On a cliff edge recommend
At last a new Painter Mage book!! This is my favorite series by D. K. Holmberg and I wasn't sure we'd get another. Excellent book. Great addition to a great series!
