The Royal Wizard

Dawn of Ragnarok, Book 1

By: Alianne Donnelly

Narrated by: Rachel Hine

The kingdom of Wilderheim stands as a bastion between the world of humans and the Otherlands. It is ruled as much by people as it is by creatures Other, and as such, it must always have a wizard at the right hand of its king. Nico has seen three generations of rulers sit the throne; he knows he will not see the fourth. Desperate to find a worthy apprentice, when Nia appears like a godsend in his path he wastes no time taking her under his wing as his last sworn duty to the young king Saeran.

But Nia and Saeran have many trials ahead of them. With destinies converging toward an inevitable battle for power, countless lives hang in the balance, including theirs. As love brings them together, so strife tears them apart and as the balance between justice and magic shifts, the royal wizard and her king get caught in a maelstrom of colliding forces. Nothing is ever as it seems with a trickster hiding in the shadows. When the gods begin to play, mortals tremble....

Great story!

Everything about this book is outstanding. I cannot wait to continue the series. Hopefully it continues on with the main characters.

Started YA then it matured

I was thinking of blowing this off at the end of chapter 2 because I thought it was YA, it’s not. It’s dark and somewhat violet once the characters get past the Too Stupid To Live phase. I loved it!

Enrapturing

As soon as I heard the first line of this book I was hooked. Her tones and inflections wrap you up into this fictional world. I loved this book and this story!
