Nightmasters: Doubles Talk - Paperback

by Loran Holt (Author)

Kelgan Defthand is accustomed to being top dog at the Academy of Magic as Senior Apprentice Mage. Compared to his peers, he's faster, more skillful, and well aware of it, but when he finds himself beset by fearful voices that come in the night, his confidence is shaken. Adding to his worries, Kelgan is summoned to Headmaster Sargal's presence - it looks like he's really in trouble. To his bewilderment, he finds he's being sent on a "mission" with two hostile-seeming aristocratic twins, Neroma and Nevander Di Nerrill.

Upon embarking on the mission, Kelgan soon realizes the world outside the cloistered Academy is a bit different than he imagined. First of all, there seems to be women doing magic! Secondly, he's not the only one hearing voices. Following a strange compulsion, Kelgan and the twins find themselves seeking the source of the voices, hoping to put an end to it. The fateful journey tests Kelgan's underdeveloped skills to the limit, and completing the mission could come at an unbearable cost to both to him and his companions. Once Kelgan accepts the challenge of Magehood, there's no going back.
