The immortal sorcerers - three legendary figures that toppled the empire of Xixis. Each has lived for over a hundred years, leaving a powerful legacy in their wake.

But their children do not share their renowned immortality, and when the firstborn son of Edrick Theas is killed, sorceress Lydia Hastings is called to investigate the murder. When she discovers a sorcerous trail left by a creature of unfathomable power, she quickly realizes she needs outside help. And while Jonan Kestrian - a spy for a rival military power - might not be Lydia's first choice for an ally, she knows that he has the knowledge and skills that she needs.

While Lydia and Jonan trace the assassin's trail, Taelien undergoes the Trials of Unyielding Steel, a series of tests to ensure his entry into the Paladins of Tae'os. As he trains for his trials, Taelien faces his fiercest rival yet: Velas Jaldin, a former member of Orlyn's Queensguard with the power to manipulate motion at her whim. With skills far beyond those of an ordinary soldier, the former Queensguard might be the killer that Lydia seeks - or the assassin's next victim.

disappointed about swearing

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is a big step up from the 1st one with much more action and much less side explanation. The story line is interesting, the action is gripping, and thr story flows well. I was HUGELY disappointed by the introduction of swearing in this book. None of the characters swore in last, and when they did suddenly in this one it was completely unnecessary and out of place.

A larger world, with a bigger plot.

Ooh, the plot thickens. This was an interesting departure from the last book in some ways. So many people in this novel are not who they appear to be, have hidden agendas and motives, and this one fleshes out the world and characters wonderfully, adding depth that was a bit lacking in the previous novel.

Also, spies and traitors, spies and traitors everywhere.

This was great, I'm really looking forward to the next one.

I've enjoyed

I've enjoyed Andrew Rowe's books. They are clear and a easy read. Some fantasy tends to get overly involved and bogs down due to the overly complexity of their writing. This is more along the lines of Harry Potter or a retelling of a DnD campaign. It's thoroughly enjoyable because of it's straight forwardness. It's well written and thought out. I'd recommend this to any fantasy fan, especially young readers, but also to anyone else that reads lots of heavier fantasy like I do. Enjoy!

Adding mystery in a fantasy is just amazing as a concept

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2016

Adding mystery in a fantasy is just amazing as a concept! I never would have thought to do so! It's just weird that T as been a soldier for over 10 years, but is getting trained as a Palatine and no longer thinking through his decisions and actions. So many times it seemed like there should be a romantic moment with one of the two women, but T doesn't seem to understand the concept of women... For a sec I thought he was considering a different woman to pursue, but nothing came from that either. J seemed to have found 2 someones through circumstance almost. I was annoyed by the switching to different groups for most of the novel. I was mainly concerned for T and seeing what was up with him. L, I wanted her mystery solved, but was waiting for her to meet up with T the whole time...

The fact that T's shields kept failing almost every test, made the ending predicable... I didn't get anything out of the final fight. If the fight was written like T's fight in the coliseum without the predictable loss to 1 opponent instead of 5, it would have had more impact to me. I'm still waiting for the 3rd audiobook installment however. There must have been a reason he was trained again.

Stealing Sorcery, an excellent read.

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2017

I loved this book. I thought the first book was excellent, showing a detailed world with a well thought out system of magic used by the characters of the books, the second book built on the first with a fast paced story building up more of the world which really captured my imagination. I sped through this book until I ran into the eventual ending which just left me with a "too soon!" feeling, I didn't want to stop reading and am currently looking forward to the release of the 3rd book.

Great book that is set in one of the most interesting worlds in recent fantasy

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

Another very interesting book from Andrew Rowe. A great second entry to the series with a very different style of plot to the first book. The detective style plot line alongside the academy style training plot was a very nice combo that kept the chapters fresh and moving. I would recommend reading the first of the series as the beginning quarter of the book throws you straight into the thick of it without a lot of recap of who the characters are or what they did during the first book. Aside from that minor nit pick the book delivered a interesting plot within the magnificent world Andrew Rowe has created and I cannot wait for more of this series.

A good mirror story

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2019

The story has several major characters. Therefore one needs time to get into the story and manage the different perspectives. Still a very entertaining and thrilling story

Brilliantly clever and captivating! Highly recommend.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

I very much enjoyed this second book written by Andrew Rowe. A very much detective style story I felt but was very cleverly written and had an abundance of unique characters. I did feel lost as to who some of the characters were at certain stages of the book and had to glance further back to regain my awareness of who it was.

The book focuses quite heavily on thought patterns and idea's that the characters is running through their minds, which I personally feel looses it's edge after some time, but it kept the story flowing well and made a nice match with the detective style story.

I enjoyed the development of Taelien's progress with his sword and I hope to find out just what's going on with that! I felt the other two main characters Jonan and Lydia were portrayed slightly different to the first, but thus made them more vulnerable and more believable as a character.

On a personal note, A particular part of this book did bring some raw emotion, which I haven't felt (and rarely get when reading) since read my very first trilogy of books almost ten years ago. Either way, I was almost unable to put this down (becoming late for work on a couple of occasions) and was a brilliant read.

I would highly suggest this book to anyone with a liking of detective / mythical / sorcery style writing and I can't wait for the next in the set.

Based on rpg's

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

Still too obvious that the stories are based on rpgs. People don't think in internal monologues for the point of exposition and a better author would make reference to thoughts and feelings rather than just detailing painfully logical internal monologue (which sometimes has to take place in a fraction of a second).
Story itself is interesting, hence three stars.
