Publisher Description
A young mage-in-training takes up the sword and is unwittingly pulled into a violent political upheaval, in the first book of this epic fantasy trilogy by Miles Cameron, author of The Red Knight.
Aranthur is a promising young mage. But the world is not safe and after a confrontation leaves him no choice but to display his skill with a blade, Aranthur is instructed to train under a renowned Master of Swords.
During his intensive training he begins to question the bloody life he's chosen. And while studying under the Master, he finds himself thrown into the middle of a political revolt that will impact everyone he's come to know.
To protect his friends, Arnathur will be forced to decide if he can truly follow the Master of Swords into a life of violence and cold-hearted commitment to the blade.

Awesome read
Just plain awesome. It took a while to get used to the Cameron’s style but a hundred pages in I couldn’t put it down.
Awful
This was a terrible book. I kept reading thinking, hoping it would improve. It never did.
Ok but Nothing Great
This was a solid read. The magic system was never explained nor the warring countries. The main protagonist was a bit bland and let ppl get away with too much. It’s ok to be justifiably mad at being deceived. Instead Arnault let everything slid even made excuses or exceptions. Such as groups that were prejudice against his kind or made bias remarks about his ppl. I liked a few secondary characters better even though it’s only one POV which I hates. Overall I liked it. I just was expecting something along the adventures of Wheel of Time or the Magic system of Brandon Sanderson , great character such as George R. R. Martin, or Brent Weeks.
