The Mages of Lebara - an elusive sect of powerful wizards - have waited centuries for the arrival of a gifted child, believing the boy would fulfil an ancient prophecy. However, there is more to the young lad than his father, the wizard's leader, knows. When Gialyn meets young Mersius, they both discover a hidden connection. Can they work together to gather the Godstones? And can Mersius save Gialyn from madness?
I have enjoyed this series as the storyline is fairly complex. My main objection is that as the story progresses too many characters have been added. The main protagonists have been separated and acquired new companions. Perhaps I am feeble but I get annoyed jumping from group to group and encountering situations that I need to refresh in my memory by backtracking.
