In A SKY OF SPELLS (BOOK #9 IN THE SORCERER’S RING), Thorgrin finally returns to himself and must confront his father once and for all. An epic battle occurs, as two titans face each other, and as Rafi uses his power to summon an army of undead. With the Destiny Sword destroyed, and the fate of the Ring in the balance, Argon and Alistair will need to summon their magical powers to help Gwendolyn’s brave warriors. Yet even with their help, all could be lost if it were not for a dramatic twist.

Luanda struggles to prevail against her captor, Romulus, as the fate of the Shield hangs in the balance. Reece, meanwhile, struggles to lead his men back up the Canyon walls, with Selese’s help, and their love deepens.

Gwendolyn has her chance for personal vengeance against McCloud, there is great cause to celebrate as the Ring takes vengeance against the Empire. As the new Queen of the Ring, Gwen uses her powers to attempt the difficult task of uniting both MacGils and McClouds for the first time in history, and to begin the epic rebuilding of the land, of her army, of the Silver, of the Legion, and of King’s Court. Gwen will attempt to make her father’s city a more glorious place than he ever dreamed, and in the process, she will seek to find and bring justice to her brother, Gareth.

Tirus must be brought to justice, too, and Gwen must decide how ruthless she will be. A conflict erupts amongst Tirus’ sons, and a struggle for power ensues as Gwen tries to unite the Upper Isles with the mainland of the Ring. And as things settle, the time has finally come for Thorgrin to propose to Gwendolyn, and for them to become husband and wife.

Thor learns more about his mysterious sister, Alistair, and he soon finds himself driven to embark on his greatest quest of all: to seek out his mother, and to learn who he really is. With multiple wedding preparations in the air, with Summer in the air, King’s Court rebuilding, festivals afoot, peace seems to settle back onto the Ring.

But danger lurks in the most unforeseen corners, and all of these characters greatest tribulations may still be yet to come.

With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A SKY OF SPELLS is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.

Books #10--#17 in the series are now also available!

“A spirited fantasy that weaves elements of mystery and intrigue into its story line….For those seeking meaty fantasy adventures, the protagonists, devices, and action provide a vigorous set of encounters that focus well on Thor's evolution from a dreamy child to a young adult facing impossible odds for survival….Only the beginning of what promises to be an epic young adult series.”

  • Saga goes on and on

    I really like being able to have a series that continues throughout several books. This series is mediocre. Four typos that I found in this book alone. Characters seem two dimensional at times. An okay read but I can still put it down easily when I need to.
  • Continues to hold you

    At first I wasn't totally on board, but i couldn't stop reading this series. It just keeps getting better. I would hope the author reprises the story and corrects the errors after it's finished. It would be fun to read this again.
