Product Description
Product Description
The 'Fire', a powerful artifact of the god Dmon-Li has fallen into James' hands. A spirit of a former Priest of Morcyth told him that he must hide it, that should the followers of Dmon-Li find it, the results would be devastating for this world. James begins experimenting with magic in order to use it to aid in the hiding of the Fire. Unlocking the secrets behind the crystal he found in the swamp, he learns to harness magical energy to aid him in this endeavor. The quest for answers eventually draws James and Jiron to the enemy occupied town of Saragon, where they've been told the last High Priest of Morcyth had been born. Hoping to discover a clue as to where the last of the Priesthood of Morcyth went after abandoning the High Temple in the City of Light. They make their way through enemy occupied Madoc to Saragon where they begin scouring the city under the very nose of the Empire! The fourth installment of The Morcyth Saga, which began in The Unsuspecting Mage continues a new epic fantasy series that readers worldwide have embraced.

Format:Paperback
Here James is finally allowed a little peace and quiet. He takes over ownership of a farmstead and renames it The Ranch. There he begins to work on learning to harness and control magic through the use of crystals.
I liked the way they hid 'The Fire' and their journey to Saragon in an attempt to learn more about the disappearance of the Priests of Morcyth. There is a clue hidden in the mind of an old man made slave by the occupying Empire forces. How James comes to learn of it is really quite ingenious and I've never heard its like before. Of course, that's sort of what I've come to expect from this author, little things that are new and different.
This book has more interesting ideas than the all out action the previous three books held. The change of pace was refreshing, and allowed James to do what he needed to accomplish.

Looking forward to continuing James' new world quest in Book 5.

Story continues strong
23 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
The first three books were action packed all the way. But here in the fourth, James is allowed a little breathing space. Pratt goes into more of the fundamentals of magic. The first several chapters are at the Ranch which is what James calls the home he has acquired in Trendle. Here he has time to work on figuring out how to harness magic and to better learn to control it. I liked the fact that we got to see him work on spells a bit more. In previous books James has had to stick to several rote spells that he was able to figure out and it's nice to see a bit more variety.
The author's writing has greatly improved by this time, maybe he has gotten the help of a better editor. Whatever he's done, the story moves along better.
Two parts I especially liked in Trail of the Gods. The first one is when Jiron and James sneak into Saragon to try and discover where the Priests of Morcyth had gone. The other was near the end of the book when they begin climbing the stairs that I believe are depicted on the cover of the book. From that point on things are fast paced until the end.
Still a great series and I'm glad I found it.

So Far So Great!
11 Jun 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I, like others who have reviewed these so far, got book 1 for free for my kindle app. Upon reaching the "not so end" of the book, I was enthralled to say the least. The small amount of money that I have been saving up to buy an actual Kindle? Slow disappearing in $5.95 increments just so I can get each book, one at a time. Usually I am one of those people who enjoy a well drawn out, 10,000 page novel with a lot of description, sub plots, and other minor trivialities, but when I'm reading @ 3am, I don't want too much to make me have to think. These books are PERFECT. As long as there are more, I suppose I will continue saying fare thee well to what little in amazon gift cards I have saved up.
