Pride. Joy. Pain. Sorrow. Just weapons. Weapons that can burn a man to cinders or inspire him to greatness and beyond. For decades Frederick Lockland has wielded them against those who threaten the realm. Pride killed a tyrant. Sorrow ended a war. Passion united a fractured nation. When the ancient city of Reed falls, he must draw on his most powerful weapon.

Fear.

A really good read. A different use of magic and mage.

A type of love story. A growing up and coming of age tale between a powerful young man and a rapscallion and slightly mad mentor. A tale of friendship and adventure. I did not want this story to end. -Adele Dennis-

An absolute triumph

I chose this book because it was free. I expected the usual fare from the genre but was blown away by the emotion woven throughout. I have no qualms about buying any and all following books based on my enjoyment of this one alone. Thank you for writing this truly superb story.

Couldn’t it down

Worth reading

This book is full of drama, magic, and a good ending. It’s a book that gets better the more you read it. It gives you the option to enjoy the book without leaving you hanging to force you to read the next book. But yet you want to see where the writer is going with the adventure. Well done. -ladydj-
