A would-be mage with no magic of his own has to defeat powerful
enemies with only cunning and deception in the first book of an
exciting adventure fantasy series from Sebastien de Castell.
Kellen is moments away from facing his first duel and proving his worth
as a spellcaster. There's just one problem: his magic is fading.
Facing exile unless he can pass the mage trials, Kellen is willing to
risk everything -- even his own life -- in search of a way to restore
his magic. But when the enigmatic Ferius Parfax arrives in town, she
challenges him to take a different path.
One of the elusive Argosi, Ferius is a traveller who lives by her wits
and the cards she carries. Daring, unpredictable, and wielding magic
Kellen has never seen before, she may be his only hope.
The first novel in a compelling six-book series, bursting with tricks,
humor, and a whole new way to look at magic.
