About this audiobook

A worthy pupil . . . A dangerous quest

To the forest on the shore of the Kingdom of the Isles, the orphan Pug came to study with the master magician Kulgan. But though his courage won him a place at court and the heart of a lovely Princess, he was ill at ease with the normal ways of wizardry.

Yet Pug's strange sort of magic would one day change forever the fates of two worlds. For dark beings from another world had opened a rift in the fabric of spacetime to being again the age-old battle between the forces of Order and Chaos.

Ratings and reviews

I have read this book before years ago and I have gotten people that have never read books before to start reading. I absolutely love this book ! although I have never had it read to me as an audiobook. it was kind of a weird experience but I absolutely loved it. I miss the world of makidama And having it read to me brought me back to the time I read it myself and what a great experience it has been. once again. thanks for having this book as an audiobook. absolutely loved it. thank you!

A Great Fantasy Read This is a very well thought out story. Engages you from start, you really get involved in each character. Easy read, hard to put down, you want to see what happens. I would like to see this made into a movie saga by Peter Jackson, It's that great!

I've been re reading this book for 15 years. I know it's a bit older than me but when I discovered Feist's Rift War books I was transported. It is excellent to finally have it on audio.
