Aqua: The Unforgiving Sea is the first of six books in The Magus Wars series by J.C. Ritchie.
Le' Freya, a world of six kingdoms ruled by the Sanctorum is quickly falling into darkness. High Priest Reganus XIII and the chancellors of Le' Freya won't admit it but when a seventh kingdom appears and a three-headed dragon begins attacking the kingdoms they are finally forced to act.
" I was an ordinary kid once, a mere acolyte of the church at least until the Seer saw my fate in the crystal. That day my world was torn apart and my future was hanging in the balance. Magic is forbidden by the Sanctorum and I was branded a mage, a traitor of Le' Freya. My sentence for these false charges brought against me was death. My name is Creo Naviae, and this is my story. The tale of how the second Magus War began." - Creo Naviae
(This story contains: Mild Language, and Violence.)

Wow what an amazing book. I could not put this book down and finished it in one day. I loved the characters. My favorite characters are Creo, Cyrus, Vahnn, Emelia and Isaru . In Le' Freya ( one of six kingdoms) magic is not allowed. Creo is charged with being a mage and is sent to another kingdom to await his doom or so he thinks. He meets many friends and foes. Will Creo and his friends live to fight another day? Well I can't tell you that. But I will tell you amazing and a must read.
And J.C Ritchie has many other great stories The Destined Bond: A Mystics of V'nairia Novella, The Fated Swords: Mystics of V'nairia Book One, The Crusader King (Mystics of V'nairia Book 2), and a few Novellas
