My review
5/5 Stars
This book simply has all the wonderful elements required for an awesome fantasy world: a prophecy, a chosen one, and a never-ending battle of good and evil. As the story begins, a great magician by the name of Marcus is summoned to go on a journey, to find a boy named Idi and groom him into the best magician the land of Talia has ever seen. Things aren’t as easy as they sound. Along the way, they are confronted with demons and evil until they eventually find a place to settle and build a life. From there, things are only just beginning. Marcus and Idi, along with child they recruited along the way named Katrina, are standing on the edge of a war and they are all key components in it. A subplot within the story follows the journey of Cassandra, an ex-princess who is tasked with birthing the One.
I loved how at the end of the story, all the subplots and ideas came together to form the foundation for the rest of the series. Each of the characters have their own hopes and dreams, and I am definitely interested in reading further just to see if they all achieve their goals. Especially Katrina and her wish to become a knight.
