Trudi Canavan - The Magician's Apprentice (epub) - j_ray

Taking place hundreds of years before the events of The Magicians' Guild,
The Magician's Apprentice is the new novel set in the world of Trudi Canavan's
Black Magician trilogy.

In the remote village of Mandryn, Tessia serves as assistant to her father, the
village Healer. Her mother would rather she found a husband. But her life is about
to take a very unexpected turn.

When the advances of a visiting Sachakan mage get violent, Tessia unconsciously taps
unknown reserves of magic to defend herself. Lord Dakon, the local magician, takes
Tessia under his wing as an apprentice.

The hours are long and the work arduous, but soon an exciting new world opens
up to her. There are fine clothes and servants and - to Tessia's delight - regular
trips to the great city of Imardin.

However, Tessia is about to discover that her magical gifts bring with them
a great deal of responsibility. For a storm is approaching that threatens to
tear her world apart.
