Mageborn Traitor ANNOTATION
The second novel in a stunning new fantasy series by the bestselling author of the Dragon Prince and Dragon Star trilogies. The Mage Guardians have survived the war and now Mage Captal Cailet and her sister Sarra struggle to rebuild their society. Though defeated, their enemies, the Malerissi, have not been destroyed, and once again start weaving a web with which to entangle the entire world.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
With The Ruins of Ambrai, the first volume of her fantasy epic, Exiles, Melanie Rawn introduced the world of Lenfell-pristine, untouched, a perfect refuge for the Mageborn, whose powers were perceived as a threat by people not gifted with magic. Now the lines have been clearly drawn, leaving one of Lenfell's most powerful families divided against itself, with Glenin, former First Daughter of Ambrai, plotting the ruin of her sisters, Sarra, Councillor of Sheve, and Cailet, the new Mage Captal, even as the Malerrisi - under Glenin's leadership - once again begin weaving a web with which to entangle their entire world.
FROM THE CRITICS
VOYA - Rosemary Moran
Cailet, the Mage Captal, dreams of starting her own Mage Academy, where she will train Mageborn children to take their rightful place in society on Lenfell, the world where the Mageborn retreated after their gifts were perceived to be a threat to the non-Mageborn, those possessing no magic. As her dream becomes reality, her sister Sarra moves forward with her plans to reorganize government for the benefit of her people. Cailet and Sarra are opposed by Glenin, their sister, who is aligned with the evil Malerrisi. Glenin will stop at nothing, not even using one of her own offspring, to bring about the destruction of her sisters' accomplishments. This second volume in the Exiles trilogy will appeal to those who appreciated the first in the series, The Ruins of Ambrai. The writing is fast-paced, the plot is convoluted and intriguing, the characters are richly drawn, and the society is similar enough to our own to be easily understood, yet different enough to pique the reader's interest. Rawn's attention to detail, together with the well-developed characters and exciting story, create a seemingly real fantasy world. VOYA Codes: 4Q 2P S (Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses, For the YA with a special interest in the subject, Senior High-defined as grades 10 to 12).
