Publisher Description

"The Innocent Mage is come, and we stand at the beginning of the end of everything."

Being a fisherman like his father isn't a bad life, but it's not the one that Asher wants. Despite his humble roots, Asher has grand dreams. And they call him to Dorana, home of princes, beggars, and the warrior mages who have protected the kingdom for generations.

Little does Asher know, however, that his arrival in the city is being closely watched by members of the Circle, people dedicated to preserving an ancient magic.

Asher might have come to the city to make his fortune, but he will find his destiny.

"not the fastest paced book on the planet but dont let that put you off. this duo of books is a slow burner with a moving conclusion. well worth a read the characters are engaging with real human qualities and flaws making them believable and well rounded. takes time but is rewarding."

— Lauren (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • A solid epic that posits political intrigue, ethereal prophecies and a rags-to-riches hero against a vivid if familiar fantasy backdrop.

    " I did enjoy this book, though I will admit it did feel like the entire book served as a build up to a sequel. It was a very slow paced build-up and its seemed to promise a lot of action that didn't really get the pay off I expected. Miller's dialogue and intricacies of class worked into it was extremely well done. Also, while the characters weren't necessarily likable at all times, they were realistic and developed. I also enjoyed that with the exception of the big bad-guy (Morg), none of the characters were evil per se. Sure they were irritating, prejudice and mean at times, but each appeared to have motivations and beliefs beyond the usual "I'm bad, let's kill everything" tropes. I'm eager for the second novel, which will hopefully have a lot more action than the first. "

    " My last fantasy book of the month. Enjoyable. Good characterization. The end seemed almost..rushed. The way it ended left me a little sick to my stomach (ok I think that was just my flu) but still.... anyway, I'd still recommend! "

    " The vast majority of this book is exposition. Miller is establishing her world, establishing the characters and establishing the coming conflict. Though this is a duology, it seems that it's actually a double-duology. So, it will be interesting to see where she takes it. However, so far so good. "

    " Awesome fantasy novel. Full of twists and turns, and features a hero who for once, isn't a badass sword-wielding professional or a royal prince searching for treasure/the key to the kingdom/his bride. It also features the best way of describing a crazy person - slumskumbledy. "
