The Hidden Realm #1
The Mage
The Mage is the second book in a series of six that chronicle the life and adventures of Elerian, the mysterious orphan who first appeared in The Foundling.
In The Mage, Elerian is now a young man and an accomplished mage. When his old enemy Drusus unexpectedly reappears, Elerian attempts to rid the countryside of an ancient danger. The resulting struggle taxes Elerian's strength and magical powers to the utmost. It also inadvertently rekindles his curiosity about his origins, which are shrouded in mystery. With his grandfather's encouragement, Elerian leaves the safe countryside where he grew up, embarking on a series of journeys to the wild lands to the north and east with the hope of finding information that will unlock the secrets of his past. During his travels, he encounters a variety of strange, sometimes magical creatures and finds himself thrust into one dangerous situation after another. Elerian discovers that the Goblins are stirring again in the Middle Realm and accidentally reveals himself to their Dark King, with disastrous consequences for himself and the two old men who raised him.
If you enjoy reading The Mage, look for the release of The Warrior in August, 2012. It will be followed by The Dwarf Kingdoms, The Quest, and The War of the Rings.

The story of Elerian continues here, he finally finds out who he is. Is he happy, sad, angry? Either way he's more comfortable in his old skin then new.
He goes on a journey to find out more about his past, but only gets into more trouble. This series is constantly getting better, I love the introduction of Ascilius in this one as well. The conversations between the two of them are jokes to read, looking forward to seeing where their journey takes them next.
