Seamage

Spellmonger, Book 18

De: Terry Mancour

Narrado por: John Lee

The war was the easy part....

Minalan the Spellmonger, in his guise as Mirkandar the Magnificent, Doge of Farise, is in a bind: the Duke of Merwyn has sent an armada of seventy ships to conquer his newly-independent realm...and Minalan has never fought a battle at sea. Thankfully, the legendary warmage Durgan Jole has a plan, and with the help of his fellow wizards from Sevendor, Minalan feels confident that Farise can survive the invasion. He doesn't want to kill that many people, but Merwyn has left him little choice.

But then one of the Vundel's leviathans and its pod swim into the middle of the battle, complicating things dramatically. And that's just the start of the real problem. An ancient organization lurks in the background while Minalan struggles for control, and the Emissary of the three Alka Alon High Kings has arrived to hold an investigation on the erratic human wizards and their rise to power. King Rard is growing suspicious of Mirkandar's real identity, and Korbal the Necromancer rises from his crypt to demand that the Spellmonger fulfill an oath he'd made. And, unsurprisingly, his teenage daughter is starting to question everything he's doing.

In the midst of the turmoil comes Moudrost, a Seamage and former member of the Brethren of the Sea, the magical order that alone communicates between the aquatic native inhabitants of Callidore and humanity. He bears a terrifying message: the appearance of the leviathan is no accident. It is coming to Farise, and it is coming for Minalan. It cannot be stopped by mortal men, not even wizards, and it is in no mood to negotiate. The only thing standing between the Vundel and the destruction of humanity now is Minalan the Spellmonger...and one very important Seamage!

Oh my goodness……that ending…..!!!!

I did not even think twice before hitting the "buy" button on the day this latest book dropped. I absolutely LOVE this unique and zany series following our beloved yet just a bit "mad" wizard - Minalan the Spellmonger.

We are continuing onward with the overarching storyline of Minalan's takeover as the Doge of Farise and the war with Merwyn that has been building with Farise is finally here. Minalan has so many balls in the air (what else is new?) but this time, it feels as if there just might be too many things happening at once - and something is bound to slip.

Between his secret identity of Mirkander the Magnificent coming to a close, the arrival of the Emissary of the three Alka Alon High Kings, a backstabbing bureaucrat set on eliminating what he considers a "nuisance", not to mention a Leviathan in the water with some questions from the Vundel - Minalan just might have his hands a bit too full.

This was another fantastic addition to the series that kept the storyline moving at breakneck speed, continued on advancing many of the storylines and once again, set Minalan up as being the wizard responsible for saving the world. What else is new?

John Lee did his usual fantastic performance as the narrator, and he truly has become the voice of the series. As usual, this book ends with a major cliffhanger - even though we can be pretty sure that the outcome is not necessarily what it was projected to be (but that is just my opinion....I could always be wrong) It just makes me that much more impatient to get Book 19.

Patience is not my strong suit :)

Wild ride

This book seems like it's three different stories wearing a trenchcoat, but then everything gets tied together with an epic showdown. Think Avengers Endgame, but bigger. Wow. And then comes the cliffhanger ending. Please write the next one fast!

Every book Terry Mancour writes adds volumes!

This book was a minor climax to the overall plot of the book it has been a long time in coming 5 books and I have been looking forward to this for so long. The only thing that is frustrating to me is the next book is going to be 9 months out assuming we do not get another Novila or side story in the middle.

another great addition to the spellmonger series

very good book, but now i want to desperately read the next one. hope it comes soon.
