Magician: Apprentice (Riftwar Cycle: The Riftwar Saga Book 1)
<b>A worthy pupil . . . A dangerous quest</b><br /><br />To the forest on the shore of the Kingdom of the Isles, the orphan Pug came to study with the master magician Kulgan. But though his courage won him a place at court and the heart of a lovely Princess, he was ill at ease with the normal ways of wizardry. <br /><br />Yet Pug's strange sort of magic would one day change forever the fates of two worlds. For dark beings from another world had opened a rift in the fabric of spacetime to being again the age-old battle between the forces of Order and Chaos.<br /><br /><b>Praise for <i>Magician: Apprentice<br /><br /></i></b>“Totally gripping . . .
