Sun Mage (An Epic Fantasy Adventure Series) (Blacklight Chronicles) [Kindle Edition]

John Forrester (Author)

Book Description

Book Two in the Blacklight Chronicles fantasy series:

Far out to sea, a mysterious island holds the ancient city of Darkov. The immortal sorcerer Aurellia awaits the arrival of Talis and Mara. The Temple of the Sun lures both dark and light forces to discover its power.

Talis and Mara will have to use their wits to escape slavery and trek out into the jungle. Foul fields of undead will trap them. Twin ancient cities, one of light and one of darkness, one ruined and one hideous in its power. Only one map can guide them.

But can they bear to enter the land of the dead? To face the God of the Underworld himself? If they fail, their family and city will fall to the Jiserians. And the world itself will slip into darkness. Unless Talis can first unlock the power of light magic.

Shadow Mage, Book 3 in the Blacklight Chronicles, is now available!

"Sun Mage...was AWESOME! The fast pace for this book, like the first one, makes it a great read for pre-teens, teens and adults... I literally could not put Sun Mage down... I give this book 5 Ravens and now I am DYING to read the next one. I anxiously await its arrival."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reading....keeps you wanting more August 1, 2012

By Simplelife1967

Format:Kindle Edition

I love this series...action and adventure with uniquely described worlds that are easily imagined within the mind's eye. My students will love these books as each one takes them deeper into the lives and adventures of Talis and Mara....right into being sold into slavery. John's books are well written and immediately take the reader in....you do not want to stop reading as you just cannot wait to find out what is going to happen next. What makes this series great is that you are left just hanging enough to make you want that next book and the next step in the adventure...again great for encouraging young readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Have to Read! March 14, 2012

Again stayed up way to late reading this book (just as I did the first book in the series), but I could not put it down. This book did not disappoint, action packed from beginning to end. Loving how the characters are evolving with each other. The ending is an awesome cliffhanger - can't wait for the next book!!

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as the first! March 14, 2012

By alayna

Format:Kindle Edition

I always worry when starting reading a series, that the later books will not be as good as the first. This series gave me no reason to worry! Sun Mage is as good (or maybe better!) than the first book, Fire Mage, and follows the same set of characters. There is a lot of action, and the story moves very quickly. I loved the fantasy elements of this story, just like the first - and I loved watching the characters grow in their relationships with each other and as individuals. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the Blacklight Chronicles!
