Publisher's Summary

Mahan's ready for new adventures - just as the gaming world of Barliona thought it was about to reenter its old comfortable rut. The winds of the Dark Forest have finally died down; Altameda has recognized its new owner while Geranika is nursing new schemes of global destruction.

Would Mahan be happy with this predictable old life? We think not! New storylines, new monsters, new dungeons, and a new status: Our High Shaman hates the daily grind! He wants a new apprentice? Then he'd better find someone who has no right to summon Spirits. A new ship? It's going to be one of a kind! A new love? Well, we'll have to see, won't we?

Shock!

Loved this book/series. Cannot believe how this one ended! Counting the days until the next! Also I request that blizzard approaches the writer about a possible game creation! Please!

First one of this serise I have not loved

honestly I love the way of the Shaman serise, this one however just kinda ended all at once..

It was like the author was rushing to meet the deadline and did not get time to fleshout the closing chapter..

anyway if you have made it this far in the serises you likely don't need this review.. And I will undoubtedly get the next one either way..

S*** Last Chapter

What was the writer even thinking, that last chapter completely ruined the story and just felt cheap. Thinking back there is nothing that hints to the betrayal up until that last chapter and even the slight seeds of doubt that are sown really dont make any form of feasible link to this twist.
