Summary

When Runnel leaves his mountain valley to head for the great city of the water mages, he has no idea of his own magical talents. But he soon finds that without meaning to, he complicates and then endangers the lives of everyone he comes to know and care about. For when it comes to magic, there are rules and laws, and the untrained mage-to-be must be careful not to tap into deep forces and ancient enmities. Otherwise, other people might end up paying the price for his mistakes.

Best narrator on Audible

A lovely story, expertly told. I've listened to 100+ books on Audible and this is the best narrator that I've encountered.

A Very Enjoyable Novella

A gentle and descriptive story of a young boy realising his potential. A pleasant change to the violence and war usual to the fantasy genre.

Enjoyed the narrator and story

This story welcomes a new and very listenable narrator. Good job Stefan and to the daddy who helped make this happen!

Teen fiction

I didn’t make it past the first half hour. Nothing original, plenty of cliches - dull.
