Summary
Desil has spent his life training, but a promise to his mother has kept him from using his abilities for anything worthwhile. Now all he does is help his mother manage her tavern as his father rests in a grave. Desil knows there's at least one other mage somewhere in this territory who can do what he can; they share a connection through their magic, although they've never met. He stays up nights wondering what they might be able to accomplish together.
When an opportunity to not only meet this mage but change the course of his future finally presents itself, Desil jumps at the chance. A great leader has disappeared, leaving clues that only Desil and this other mage can see. War is coming, and following the clues could mark Desil as a traitor, but he trained his whole life for something. If this isn't it, then what is? He might unearth a new power capable of ending war, or he might die trying. Either is better than doing nothing.

Great Book as always but different pronunciations
Excellent book, where the world has moved on a number of years with new characters. I found it more difficult to get into this one as the narrator pronounced words differently. Cairo became keyro. Took some getting used to but the story was great.

narrative excellent
The story is intricately woven and narrated perfectly.
I will look for more books narrated by Simon Vance. His performance really makes a book come alive.

Undecided
There seemed to be something missing when I started listening to this book - some backstory?
It is about a boy, Dresil, who lives at home and helps his mum, who runs a magic tavern. Dresil wants more than the boring life he currently leads and his wish is about to come true. He has formed a connection with another mage through magic and he is eager to learn who she/he is. However, opportunity is about to knock on his door and he will clutch at it with both hands.
I am undecided about this book. It was slow to start, but did pick up a little. It was enjoyable. I will try book 2 and see what it brings.
