Lies (Gone #3)
Lies (Gone #3)
Author: Michael Grant
Desc: "Even if a magician's powers surface of their own accord he will soon be dead if he does not gain the knowledge of how to control them." Alone among all the novices in the Magicians' Guild only Sonea comes from lowly beginnings. Yet she has won powerful allies—including Lord Dannyl newly promoted to Guild Ambassador. But Dannyl must now depart for the Elyne court leaving Sonea at the mercy of the lies and malicious rumors her enemies are busy spreading ... until the High Lord Akkarin steps in. The price of Akkarin's support is dear however because Sonea in turn must protect his mysteries and a secret that could lead a young novice mage deep into the darkness. Meanwhile Dannyl's first order to resume High Lord Akkarin's long abandoned research into ancient magical knowledge is setting him on an extraordinary journey fraught with unanticipated peril as he moves ever-closer to a future both wondrous ... and terrible.
