I really liked this one. A new author for me & I am hooked. So many great characters Inara, Kiernan, Aldean & Yelene just to name a few. This one had plenty of action & never a dull moment. Erasmus didn’t know his parents and always wondered about them. He had magic but didn’t know how to use it. He tried to hide his powers from the people in his village. He was afraid of their reactions to it. One day he used it & his secret got out. While dealing with the repercussions of that his life changed. He met Morzan & & he thought he might finally get some answers. Sometimes the answers you get may not always be the ones you want. A must read for sure.
