Product Description

Product Description

Mordecai has discovered his heritage and must take up the mantle of a lord of the realm, while figuring out what it really means to be a mage of the line of Illeniel. He is beset on both sides by allies and enemies trying to control or destroy his future. Gods and kings both seek to manipulate him for their own ends, and no matter what he chooses his loved ones will suffer. Will he risk destroying his love with a bond that might be her death, or face the madness that comes to wizards who embrace power without restraint?

4.0 out of 5 stars Mageborn - going places? 26 Mar 2012
By M. Bird
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is great! All good "Sword and Sorcery", pretty heavy in places, but Michael Manning's style is light, witty, and irreverent towards the more traditional S&S style. A tad to Americanised, perhaps, but I like it!

I came across the first book by chance, I just liked the title, and sought out the second. The actions of the main character and his supporters were about as henous as you could imagine, slaughter on a truly epic scale, but done with charm (I know, that sounds really crass, but it works - have a read if you don't believe me). I don't really see how the author can top the deeds in "Mageborn: The Line of Illeniel", but there is a third due out soon (the sooner the better), and I it looks to me as if this author and series are really going places.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read book 1 and 2 instantly! 30 Mar 2012
By Falconwriter
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I Loved the Mageborn. It sucked me into the point where I read book 1 and immediately book 2. I could not put them down and so read one within each day. I loved the balance of humour, thrills, magic,battles and friendship. The way mordecai 's emotions were described and the tensions. Not happy now that I have to wait for book three to come out!! I was on a roll reading them. Hurry up Mr Manning!

5.0 out of 5 stars Did not disappoint. 16 Mar 2012
By Stevie
Format:Kindle Edition
Once again Michael G. Manning has created a masterpiece. As with the first book this one grabs you by the neck and steers you down a road of magic, thrills and fights. What a great read and again I couldn't leave it down I just had to finish it.

Roll on the next one I can't wait........

I really wanted to like this book. I love the ideas and the plot even though is not much new there. But the prose and writing style with its many Americanisms just irritate me. Read more
