Summary

A rich, compelling and laugh-out-loud new series for all teen, YA, adult and fantasy fans.

How do you survive a mage's duel without magic? Kellen's about to risk everything: his family, his home, even his own life....

When you're a Jan'Tep initiate approaching your 16th birthday, you'd better be ready to prove your worth as a mage. Either that or have a miracle on the way. And Kellen isn't counting on either. He knows he'll need a few tricks up his sleeve to avoid disgracing his family and becoming a Sha'Tep servant. So when a sassy, straight-talking traveller arrives in town, Kellen is all ears. Ferius Parfax is jaded but worldly, an exile who lives by her wits and the three decks of cards she carries. She can't teach him to spark his bands and access the seven magics, but with the hand that Kellen's been dealt, he knows he needs all the help he can get....

Amazing story and amazing narration

I loved the entire series there was great character and plot development along with some great humour.
One thing I would say is that there is a slight theme of Kelen saving ‘damsels in distress’ which gets a little old after a while

Amazing start for a book series!

This is absolutely well-written and well-thought story. The story goes from situations to another seamlessly and the voice actong is good. I can easily see this being next Netflix series.

A great adventure - not the Greatcoats & that's OK

I finished this in less than a day, and was disappointed that I couldn't stay awake long enough to get through it all in one! I loved this author and narrator combo in the Greatcoats series, and found this book just as entertaining, though very different. Another well imagined world that isn't too over-complicated, and a different cast of characters who are very human, neither paragons of virtue, nor black-hearted villains.

Not much more I can say; brilliant writing, brilliant humour, brilliant narration!
If you liked The Greatcoats, then you’ll love this too!
Book 2 already loaded! :)
