Product Description

Product Description

Thirteen-year-old Gabriel Salvador has dreams about the future and his dreams always come true. When he dreams one night that he will drown, he knows upon waking it is only a matter of time before his dream becomes reality.

Plucked from the timeline of history at the moment of his death, Gabriel becomes an apprentice time mage and part of an elite team of wizards who travel throughout history to fight the War of Time and Magic.

Victorian London, the Aztec temples of 1487, the Greek island of Samos in 320 BCE, Scotland in the Middle Ages, and the battle fields of Alexander the Great are only some of the adventures in time that await Gabriel as he learns to become a time mage and joins the battle to protect the timeline of history in THE WIZARD OF TIME.

THE WIZARD OF TIME is approximately 101,000 words long.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect fantasy 10 Sep 2011
By Elizabeth Marshall
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A lot of people, me included, read to indulge their own imaginations, or to escape the realities of life! Everyone has a different idea of what constitutes escapism and that is probably why well written fantasy spans such a diverse and broad spectrum of genres and age groups. However, not all fantasy stories are actually successful in crossing ages and genres.

The reason for this is that for a fantasy to work, the story needs to hold some degree of realism. The reader needs to be able to associate with it and see themselves in it.
When it comes to fantasy I expect the impossible!

When I started this book I hoped for the impossible and what I got was pure brilliance. This story is written with incredible intelligence and crosses genres and ages groups seamlessly. It is captivating, adventurous, creative, vibrant, emotive and unpredictable. I fully believed in the fantasy, loved the plot and think the characters were just perfect.

The historical back drop to the story was excellent, and, clever word painting and research made me feel as though I was with the characters at every turn.

The technical and scientific explanations were, to my mind, plausible and brought the whole plot together in an incredibly exciting way.

This is a tale that feels real yet clearly is not. It has a story that captures enough reality to ground the tale and make it believable, yet not enough to bring me crashing back into reality. It is a tale into which I disappeared and hid from the world; where I connected with the characters yet knew their problems were not mine; where I touched their lives and felt their worlds, but still feel safe in my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take the Time to Read This Book! 2 Oct 2011
By Cherie Reich
Format:Kindle Edition
G.L. Breedon's THE WIZARD OF TIME swirls magical realism throughout time and space.

The day Gabriel Salvador dies is the day he finds his place within the world. Gabriel is a Time Mage, but he's more special than any of them realize. He and his group of mages travel throughout time to stop the evil wizards who want to destroy the Primary Continuum. When he realizes he's a part of a prophecy, he must find balance between the light and dark, or lose himself for all time.

THE WIZARD OF TIME's greatest strength is in its characters. Each one is a three-dimensional individual living their lives in many shades of gray. I love the camaraderie between friends. Six magics are used that are familiar but Breedon takes them to a higher level. Although the beginning starts out a bit cliché, Breedon sucked me into Gabriel's world. The plot is sometimes a bit predictable but enjoyable. I love the history and cultures interspersed throughout. The Malignancy Mages are fantastically complicated villains. This novel explores the philosophical musings of light and dark, good and evil. The time travel scenes are awesome and well-thought out.

THE WIZARD OF TIME by G.L. Breedon is a wonderful fantasy novel geared towards young adults but a great read for all. I can't wait to read book two.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for Fantasy fans 8 May 2012
By Ignite TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition
This book throws the reader into the deep end from the beginning. It is a faced paced fantasy adventure in which a young man discovers his gifts and his destiny and undergoes training as a Mage. Don't for a moment think 'Hogwarts' though. This is training on the job. Gabriel, the young Time Mage, find himself in a war between Good and Evil Mages and he realises that each side wants to 'use' him.

I kept finding myself thinking of Ursula Le Guin's work but this seemed to me to be faster paced and in some ways a more satisfying read. It also makes the reader think about good and evil and the fact that there can be grey areas. This is a must for fans of the Fantasy genre and it is obvious that there will be more to read about this charming young man, Gabriel. I'll be there when there is!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wizard of Time (Book 1) 8 Jan 2012
By Shani
Format:Kindle Edition
I haven't enjoyed reading a book so much in a long time. I'm usually so completely busy with life, home, and just about everything else there is that I rarely have time to sit and have a good read. Then I can't find anything to read that holds my attention right to the end .

I was so gripped by the excellent story and the great writing that I grabbed every spare minute to sit and read it and completed it in a record breaking two days.I would joyfully have read it in one sitting had it not been for the irritating distractions of normal life having to continue!
My advice Buy this book as soon as you can

3.0 out of 5 stars the wizzard of time - ok read.... great storyline 24 Jun 2012
By slm
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was a great story - really clever plot that kept me gripped. The writing style was however a little juvenile - it felt like this was the work of a first time writer. It didn't have the flow in the writing style that I would want from a truly great read; this was a little frustrating at times. Despite this, I really enjoyed the book and I would like to read more from this author - but for now i'm glad it was a free download.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'd like to be a time mage too..what about you? 10 April 2012
By BudgieBrain
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I adored this story!

It was brilliant the way it was sort of set in our world with history we can all relate to. Yet it was still fantasy that you could completely immerse yourself in. I found myself wondering which of the six types of magic I'd like to use, but I think I'd like to be a time mage too.

I will definitely be purchasing books two and three when they are released (I hope they're not too far away!)I can't wait to see where G.L.Breedon takes this story.
