The second novel in the bestselling Black Magician Trilogy.

El primer volumen de una deslumbrante trilogía de género fantástico. Magia, acción y aventuras de altos vuelos en la ópera prima de una autora que ha triunfado en el mundo entero. Cada año los magos de Imardin se reúnen para realizar, junto con la guardia real, una gran purga en las calles de la ciudad: la vacían de vagabundos, pícaros y maleantes. Son maestros en las diversas disciplinas de la magia, y saben que nadie puede oponérseles. Pero su escudo protector no es tan impenetrable como creen. Porque Sonea, una joven que vive en la calle, está furiosa tras ver que su familia y sus amigos van a ser expulsados de la ciudad. Toda la rabia acumulada por años de injusticia va concentrada en una piedra que Sonea lanza contra las fuerzas del orden. Para sorpresa de todos, la piedra atraviesa la barrera invisible y derriba a uno de los magos. El peor de los temores del gremio se ha hecho realidad: hay un mago sin educar en las calles. ¡Un mago fuera de la nobleza! Deben encontrar a Sonea cuanto antes, porque se trata de una persona con un poder enorme que, descontrolado, representa una amenaza tanto para quien lo posee como para el resto de la ciudad. «Si buscáis una buena lectura, un libro para pasar hojas como hacíais con las lecturas de juventud, o incluso si buscáis un libro para que un adolescente se adentre en la literatura fantástica de verdad, entonces Trudi Canavan es la autora idónea. Una apuesta segura.» Fantasy Book Review «Imprescindible para todos los amantes de la fantasía. Los tres libros de la trilogía merecen ser leídos como uno solo.» Allgemeine Zeitung

Unable to avoid being drawn into the terrible conflict, Auraya, now protector of the Siyee, fears she will be unable to meet the conditions of the all-powerful gods she once served. And an offer from a mysterious woman may be impossible for Auraya to refuse, but, if revealed, would brand her an enemy of the gods. Now, the immortal Wilds will not be deterred in their quest for powerful, long-buried secrets. But they have deadly adversaries who also seek the world-shattering truth . . . and it may appear in a form that no one anticipates.

"You want to know the truth." Sonea has learned much since she was but a penniless urchin possessing an awesome untapped ability. She has earned the grudging respect of her fellow novices and a place in the Magicians'' Guild. But there is much she wishes she had never learned—what she witnessed, for example, in the underground chamber of the mysterious High Lord Akkarin . . . and the knowledge that the Guild is being observed closely by an ancient fearsome enemy. Still, she dares not ignore the terrifying truths the High Lord would share with her, even though she fears it may be base trickery, a scheme to use her astonishing powers to accomplish his dark aims. For Sonea knows her future is in his hands—and that only in the shadows will she achieve true greatness . . . if she survives.

Set hundreds of years before the events of The Magicians'' Guild, The Magician''s Apprentice is the new novel set in the world of Trudi Canavan''s Black Magician Trilogy. In the remote Mandryn, Tessia serves as assistant to her father, the village Healer. Her mother would rather she found a husband. But her life is about to take a very unexpected turn. When the advances of a visiting Sachakan mage get violent, Tessia unconsciously taps unknown reserves of magic to defend herself. Lord Dakon, the local magician, takes Tessia under his wing as an apprentice. The long hours of study and self-discipline also offer more opportunities than she had ever hoped for, and an exciting new world opens up to her. There are fine clothes and servants -- and, to Tessia''s delight -- regular trips to the great city of Imardin. But along with the excitement and privilege, Tessia is about to discover that her magical gifts bring with them a great deal of responsibility. For great danger looms on the horizon for Tessia and her world.

The stunning prequel to the worldwide bestselling Black Magician Trilogy.

Although the architect of the White''s victory, Auraya''s first taste of war has left her sleep filled with nightmares. She walks in fields of blood and gore while the dead rise in accusation. You killed us. You. It seems Auraya will know no peace while these nightmares haunt her, but the only one she trusts to help has vanished. The Dreamweaver, Leiard, still struggling to come to terms with the ever more powerful memories of the long-dead Mirar, flees into the mountains with Emerahl, perhaps the last of the Wilds. Although not a Dreamweaver herself, Emerahl is powerfully gifted, and helps Leiard to make sense of his strange jumble of memories. What they discover will change his life forever. And far to the south, the Pentadrians lick their wounds and set about finding a new leader. Peace, it seems, must wait a while yet .
