Magician: Apprentice
Raymond E. Feist

His burgeoning talents and bravery soon earn him a place at court and the affection of a princess, yet his path diverges from traditional wizardry.

This epic tale explores destiny, the nature of power, and the courage found in unexpected places.

Silverthorn

His only hope lies in finding Silverthorn, a legendary herb that grows in the treacherous and mysterious land of the Spellweavers—a realm few have entered and fewer still have survived. Joined by a hardened mercenary, a talented minstrel, and a cunning young thief, Arutha must navigate dark forests, ancient magic, and sinister forces that threaten the very fabric of the enchanted world of Midkemia. As the group ventures deeper into danger, they uncover a conspiracy far more sinister than a simple assassination, one that could spell doom for the entire kingdom. Feist weaves an epic tale of courage, magic, and redemption that expands his richly imagined fantasy world.
