Snowfall: Dynasty of Storms IV

The Mage's Trilogy, Book 1

By: Brandon Cornwell

Narrated by: Caren Naess

Obedience. Duty. Conformity. Poise. As firm and unyielding as any iron bar, they form a cage more secure than a prison cell.

When the messenger came to the castle, everything changed for Amethyst, the only child of the king. Of all the elves in Lonwick, she alone was worthy to be the apprentice to the Master of Earth, one of the eight most powerful wizards on Erde. Now, she has the power to change her destiny, to take her life into her own hands and mold it into something exciting, something real.

Unfortunately, the world outside of her father's kingdom had little interest in her continued survival. If she is to take her place as Apprentice, she will need all her wit and cunning to survive.

Life in the powerful Council of Masters is full of danger, from both within and without. Can she learn to navigate the treacherous politics of the Council of Masters? Is the power worth the price she must pay? And why are the orcs, trolls, and ogres suddenly rising up against the people of Lonwick?

So much fun!

This book was so much fun! The writing is exceptional, and so descriptive without feeling overwhelming. The characters are very compelling, both the evil and wonderful ones, including the elves, powerful sorcerer, and all the other beings that support the story along the way. The setting is really well thought out, and lays a great foundation for the story. Although I've read a lot of fantasy novels, this one felt so fresh and new and totally different! The pacing was exceptional, and kept the story moving quickly without feeling rushed. I can't wait for book two and hope it comes out fast!
