The High Lord: Book 3 of the Black Magician (Black Magician Trilogy, #3)

by Trudi Canavan

In the city of Imardin, where magic and power walk hand-in-hand, a young street-girl, adopted by the Magicians' Guild, finds herself at the centre of a terrible plot that may destroy the entire world...Sonea has learned much at the Magicians' Guild and the other novices now treat her with a grudging respect. But she cannot forget what she witnessed in the High Lord Akkarin's underground chamber - or his warning that the realm's ancient enemy is growing in power once more. As Akkarin reveals more of his knowledge, Sonea does not know who to believe, or what she most fears. Could the truth really be as terrifying as the High Lord claims? Does an ancient power threaten them all? Or does the guild face a threat from a much closer source?

This is the third and final book in The Black Magician Trilogy and also a re-read.

Once again, a fantastic, fast paced read. I couldn't put it down! The cast of characters all developed even further and I grew to like all of the main ones. The twists and turns in the book kept me enthralled right until the end and while I didn't like the ending, it made perfect sense with the story.

I would definitely recommend the series but I don't think I can add any more without giving the game away!
