Each year the magicians of Imardin gather together to purge the city streets of vagrants, urchins and miscreants. Masters of the disciplines of magic, they know that no one can oppose them. But their protective shield is not as impenetrable as they believe. Sonea, angry, frustrated and outraged by the treatment of her family and friends, hurls a stone at the shield, putting all her rage behind it. To the amazement of all who bear witness, the stone passes unhindered through the barrier and renders a magician unconscious. The guild's worst fear has been realised ...There is an untrained magician loose on the streets. She must be found before her uncontrolled powers unleash forces that will destroy both her, and the city that is her home. THE MAGICIANS' GUILD is a blistering new fantasy adventure from a debut author skilled in both world-building and storytelling. The trilogy continues with THE NOVICE and THE HIGH LORD.

Nachdem sie mitten in der Nacht einen Bericht über die Olympiade in Barcelona sah, der behauptete, die Regierung habe Obdachlose umsiedeln lassen, träumte sie, sie sei Teil einer G...
I enjoyed this book. Very much epic fantasy, with the feared magicians on one side and the impoverished slum-dwellers on the other. Our protagonist is a girl from the slums who happens to have untapped magical powers. One day, she accidentally lets her powers be shown, and the magicians want to chas...
This is an extremely quick, very well written, nicely paced, character driven, little gem of a novel that approaches Magic and Class in a captivating way. My husband and I read this every night before bed and we both were sucked in immediately and spit out happily at the end (which was sans cliffhan...
Meine Meinung Wenn ich mir so den Klappentext durchlese, klingt Sonea viel rebellischer, als sie in Wirklichkeit ist. Denn eigentlich gerät sie nur in einen Strudel aus Zufällen und in eine Welt, aus der sie Jahre zuvor dank ihrer Tante und ihrem Onkel entkommen ist. Cery sorgt sich so gut er kann u...
