Taking place hundreds of years before the events of The
Magicians'' Guild, The Magician''s Apprentice is the new novel
set in the world of Trudi Canavan''s Black Magician
trilogy.
In the remote village of Mandryn, Tessia serves as assistant to her
father, the village Healer. Her mother would rather she found a
husband. But her life is about to take a very unexpected
turn.
When the advances of a visiting Sachakan mage get violent, Tessia
unconsciously taps unknown reserves of magic to defend herself.
Lord Dakon, the local magician, takes Tessia under his wing as an
apprentice.
The hours are long and the work arduous, but soon an exciting new
world opens up to her. There are fine clothes and servants and - to
Tessia''s delight - regular trips to the great city of
Imardin.
However, Tessia is about to discover that her magical gifts bring
with them a great deal of responsibility. For a storm is
approaching that threatens to tear her world apart.
