Summary

With all of magic at her command, Alydian is born to power. She and the other oracles serve the people, guiding kings and commoners with their ability to know the future. Yet despite Alydian's power she cannot foresee the coming betrayal, for a rogue mage lurks in their midst, and plots an alliance with the mighty guild of Verinai. Under the guise of benevolence the Verinai offer their magic to all, while their expanding reach is noticed by none.

Except the Soldier.

Branded a traitor, wanted for murder, the mysterious man is no ordinary bandit. For six years he has hidden behind a mask, hunting Verinai with his band of Defiant. But now his war is about to escalate, for he has targeted Alydian to send a message, that even an oracle can be killed. Beset by foes, Alydian will require more than magic to survive, for if she cannot change her future...she will fall to her fate.

Excellent story. I really enjoyed it.

Not too crude as books of this genre can be. Fully intent to buy them all.

Pretty tedius and one-dimensional

I don't know why I keep getting books by this author but they are always the same. By that I mean they are enough to stop me going mad with boredom, but as nourishing as chewing on cardboard. They are pretty standard fantasy stuff and easy to listen to, I suppose. But the characters are hardly even one-dimensional and the plots are never complicated. I have now sworn off Ben Hale.
