In the city of Imardin, where those who wield magic wield power, a young street-girl, adopted by the Magician's 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's underground room - or his warning that the realm's ancient enemy is growing in power once more. As Sonea learns more, she begins to doubt her guildmaster's word. Could the truth really be as terrifying as Akkarin claims, or is he trying to trick her into assisting in some unspeakably dark scheme?
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!
