Publisher's Summary

Koren Bladewell now knows he is a wizard, but he is lost in the wilderness, cut off from help, and unable to use his powers. The enemy is poised at the border with an overwhelming invasion force, and it will take wizards, soldiers and a young, untested princess to hold off defeat long enough for Koren to be trained and grow into his power. But he might not wish to help those who deceived him and destroyed his life.

Fantastic!

Another awesome book by Craig Alanson. Had me on the edge the whole time and I never wanted to stop listening. Narration is awesome too with each character being distinctly different.

Spellbound

Very much enjoyed this series, burnt through all three books in less than a week. The only issue now being; I need to find another series. Definitely recommend for a comfortable and enjoyable read.

outstanding performance

anyone who thinks performing these stories is simply a case of reading them out needs to listen to Gerald Reynolds, as he's an absolute master of voices, and characters. the story itself is great, Craig has done a superb job, but man, this narrator simply brings it to life. great job

I would have loved more

I really liked it but I'd love more progression of the main character. It felt a little hastened. It was not bad though. I just didn't want the series to end already, haha.

So enjoyable!

Another excellent series from Craig Alanson, and the performance kept me right in the story.I could hardly put it away when I had other things to do. The flicker of flame in the final sentences of Deceptions totally got me excited that there may be further instalments. Thanks!
