Desperate Flight and a Last Stand
The power of the evil sorcerer, Mordak, has grown, and Brunar and the Guardians must somehow fight their way free of his clutches. Using all of their combined powers, as well as the aid of powerful ape warriors and enormous spiders, the Guardians must make their way to the final battleground of Alverton Falls.
Gart's Powers Rise
Across the continent, the reluctant Gart finally accepts the Jidaan of Storms and the incredible powers that come with it, but his challenges have only just begun. With his new companion, Beauty, an enormous and scarred mastiff, at his side, he faces river daemons and savage monsters on his way to join the Guardians in their final battle. Will he survive to aid them in time?
The fate of Talwynn hangs in the balance as brave heroes face overwhelming odds, deadly dark magick, and the wrath of a Daemon-God.
Brimming with action and adventure, A Mage Awakens is perfect for fans of Dennis L. McKiernan's Mithgar series, Simon R. Green's Forest Kingdom tales, or Raymond Feist's Riftwar Saga.
