The first volume in the classic Ingenairii Series introduces Alec, a sixteen year old orphan who works as a hired hand in a traveling carnival, performing chores and tasks while the wagons roll across the nations of the Dominion. Mentored by the carnival magician Aristotle, Alec learns about responsibility and friendship, until his education is disrupted when the caravan is attacked by the monstrous lacertii. Stranded in the wilderness of the Pale Mountains with Natalie, a dancing girl who also survives, Alec finds an ancient holy site, and gains unique powers that have been lost for centuries, powers that he must learn to control and use as he flees from the lacertii. His flight will take him to the most powerful duchy in the Dominion and to a power struggle involving the ingenairii, the nobility and the swordsmen of the Goldenfields Guard. Learning who to trust and how to fulfill his promises will create turmoil and conflict that stretch over every page of Visions of Power.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Read,
By
This review is from: Visions of Power (Paperback)
"A fascinating story of fiction and fantasy that continues to build momentum with each page taking unexpected plot twists and turns. One part believable love story, one part magical fantasy, one part electrifying adventure and, as a whole, moralistic, but not deafening, in its overall tone.
A young orphan boy, Alex, starts out as a stable hand in a circus caravan in the sophisticated yet ancient mythological Dominion lands and ends up as a powerful healer and possessor of great powers. The reader never knows where the story is going next, but is not dissatisfied with where he finds himself. The authors knits together many different characters, themes and subplots into a wonderful story. It was a great break from my normal reading list and left me wanting to know what happens next. Book Two?"

Couldn't put it down,
By JR Tolkien (Indianapolis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Visions of Power (Paperback)
Once I started I couldn't put this book down. Wonderful characters, exciting story and interesting plot made it a great read. It is a story for all ages - after I finished, my 17 year old son read the book and can't wait for the second one (the excerpt at the end of the book said it will be out this fall). If you like fantasy/adventure novels you will like this one - a lot happens in one book.
Young boy discovers he has magical powers and while using them for good, makes influential friends who help guide him through the intrigue of his world. He learns to fight using his magical powers and becomes a great swordsman. I highly recommend this book.

A Wonderful Debut Novel,
By JSC (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Visions of Power (Paperback)
A great read with a plot that moves with astonishing vigor. For a fantasy novel, the format is classic coming-of-age and good vs. evil, yet Quyle introduces an unusually authoritative undertone of spiritual importance. The welfare of his characters matter to the reader; there is no more enticing way to encourage the turn of a page.
Warning: this is just Part One of the story; it will leave you wanting more in the same way that the rapid plot development will leave you slightly breathless. This is a thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking book. While the book has a number of mature themes appropriate for older readers it is highly suitable for young adults as well. I would also recommend it as the perfect vehicle for a book club or other discussion group.
