About this eBook

Master Gabrielle of the Wizards Guild looked at the book title: Magical Items and their Creation BY Anwar Alamira. He looked up at Anwar and smiled. That is the name I will be known by in the magical world, Anwar said. Gabrielle nodded, sat down and began leafing through the book written by his former apprentice. When farm boy Anwar discovers he has the ability to use magic he goes to the local wizards guild for help. As apprentice to Master Gabrielle, he soon surpasses his teachers skills and knowledge and becomes a formidable member of the City Guard. While studying the magic arts, he meets Mariah, apprenticed in the art of healing. Anwar discovers that the girl he has fallen in love with will fight by his side with sword, knife and bow. When their city is attacked by a horde of marauding goblins, Anwar becomes a local hero. After the senseless slaughter of his family, Anwar vows to hunt the evil in the world and protect those who cannot protect themselves. Anwar, Mariah and his best friend Jabaal take off in search of knowledge and adventure. It doesn't take long for them to find it.

Horrible writing, poor style. Plot is unremarkable and story sounds forced. The sequel off the bat was also bad. Did he make a hammer or an axe for the dwarf king? Make up your mind. Storyline for both book pretty much made these purchases not worth it. Bought the second book to give it one last try. But no. No no.
