Publisher's summary

Koren Bladewell now knows he is a wizard, but he is lost in the wilderness, cut off from help, and unable to use his powers. The enemy is poised at the border with an overwhelming invasion force, and it will take wizards, soldiers and a young, untested princess to hold off defeat long enough for Koren to be trained and grow into his power. But he might not wish to help those who deceived him and destroyed his life.

Good fantasy story could a movie of this

The story does drag at times, but the climactic ending is definitely worth the wait. Glad I purchased this book.

Fantastic close out..

Couldn’t have been a better ending to this series.. Really well done from characters, to plot twists, to resolution. Exactly the type of book I love!

Clearly, a divergent effort by the author but...

It works! The target audience seems to be the pre-teen to early teen age group so bear that in mind but it's a worthy effort that did entertain. I really like the author's development of characters in this series as well as in his other books which are must reads as far as I'm concerned. This is a light, fun, witty, and enjoyable read when you need a break from the serious stuff of life. I do recommend it!
