Vaetra Untrained

The Vaetra Chronicles #2

by Daniel R. Marvello

In volume two of the Vaetra Chronicles, former innkeeper Jaylan Forester follows lovely sorceress Sulana Delano to the Archives College of Sorcery where he learns to use the magical power of vaetra. While Jaylan adjusts to life at the largest sorcerer sanctuary in the empire, Sulana investigates the clues left behind by their mutual enemy Paeter Thoron. When Sulana and her team are captured and held for an impossible ransom, Jaylan must decide if he will obey the will of the Archives Council and wait through the negotiations, or if he will risk everything in a desperate attempt to rescue the woman he loves. Vaetra Untrained is a swords & sorcery fantasy adventure. If you liked The Belgariad by David Eddings, The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, or Dragonlance by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, you'll enjoy the Vaetra Chronicles series.

Reviews

[Victoria]

This book wasn't as interesting as the first one. It just felt like a filler book. I still loved it, but it kinda dragged along more than the first.

[Douglas Cook]

Jaylan starts his training as a wizard. The book still feels like a mystery.

First paragraphs -
I woke from a dreamless and restful sleep, but when I sat up in bed and opened my eyes, it was absolutely dark. I blinked hard a couple of times to assure myself that my eyes were open. I turned my head in search of even the faintest glimmer of light. Why can’t I see? Have I gone blind? My racing heart calmed as memories of the past week seeped back into my conscious mind. I wasn’t at my home in Northshore. I was at the Archives, the largest and oldest sanctuary for sorcerers in the Tanes.
