Product Description
Years ago, sorceress Aetria's untamed power caused a disaster on the battlefield. Temporarily banished for retraining, she has returned to the army to redeem herself as head of a company of novice mages. Under the command of her old nemesis, Adept Pleates, she struggles with her past disgrace and her still-uncertain control of her magical energy. When Pleates assigns her to escort the army's commanding general and his aide on a covert mission, Aetria sees a chance to prove her worth. To her surprise, she unearths a traitor's plot and previously unknown secrets of the source of magic. At the same time, she discovers long-lost kin and encounters an unsuspected ally in the depths of her own mind.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Story 5 stars, Writting 2 stars:, July 18 2005
By M. McCormick - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wild Sorceress (Paperback)
I give the story line 5 stars but the writing comes up with only 2 stars. I was very frustrated while reading this book; I was intrigued by the story line but groaned over the writing. It seems to be written for about an 8th grade maturity level. The scenes that are meant to be touching end up coming off as melodramatic. A more advanced writer could have made this a sensational book.

A Delightful Read, Aug 11 2011
By Elenora R. Sabin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wild Sorceress (Paperback)
This fantasy novel features a very original system of magic that requires quite a bit of explanation, delivered at least in part via the protagonist's lectures to a group of novices under her tutelage. This makes for a rather slow start, but it helps ground the reader in the world and its magic. Past that opening portion, the novel picks up speed, the protagonist proves to be a compelling character, and the plot twists are unexpected and intriguing. The battle scenes are well done, the action riveting. The novel comes to a satisfying conclusion yet left this reader eager to read the rest of the trilogy.
