About this ebook
'ANOTHER PAGE-TURNER FROM ONE OF FANTASY'S BESTSELLING AUTHORS' Independent
Following Thief's Magic, international No. 1 bestselling author Trudi Canavan returns with the second novel in the Millennium's Rule series - her most powerful and thrilling adventure yet.
A DARK DANGER LIES IN WAIT . . .
Tyen trains students in the ways of magic, but his teaching may soon be outlawed. Rumour has it that the formidable ruler of all worlds, long believed to be dead, is back and is harshly enforcing his old laws - including the one forbidding schools of magic. As teachers and pupils flee, Tyen is left with no home and no purpose . . . except to fulfil the promise he made to Vella, the sorcerer imprisoned in a book. Tyen must decide what he is willing to do to free her.
Elsewhere, Rielle's peaceful new life as a tapestry weaver has been shattered by a local war. As defeat looms, the powerful Angel of Storms appears and invites Rielle to join the artists of his heavenly realm. But what will he require in return for this extraordinary offer?
A gripping fantasy adventure filled with danger, intrigue and forbidden magic. Perfect for fans of Robin Hobb, Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss and Peter V. Brett.
ESCAPE TO A NEW WORLD.
DISCOVER THE MAGIC OF TRUDI CANAVAN.

A stalwart reader of Miss Canavan's work since first stumbling into her Guild of magicians, this installment - much like it's predecessor - leaves the highs of the Guild & The White far, far above. The core idea of the story - The Travellers - is wonderful but woefully under-utilised. Much of the book feels like padding; the author parading her worldbuilding skills. Full of obvious twists and heavy-handed foreshadowing that readers of Voice of the Gods will recognise, only great will power got me through.

Loved this book a lot. It really opens your mind up to what is right and wrong and how you can be too quick to judge someone by their actions. A masterpiece of human interaction with a touch of magic :)
