Wizard Test

by Hilari Bell

Overview

Dayven has passed the test he wanted most desperately to fail -- he's been proven to have the powers of a wizard.
He had promised never to become one of the deceitful, disloyal sorcerers who believe in nothing and alter people's true destinies -- but now he has no choice. Thrown into an apprenticeship with a roguish wizard, Dayven discovers that loyalty and trust are never simple, and wizards are more deceptive than he could ever imagine.
The path that was once clear -- his friendships, his future, his destiny -- is now shadowed with dangerous twists and turns, and the world he knows must change forever.

Never trust a "craven and treacherous" wizard--that's what Dayven, a trainee warrior of the imperialistic Tharn culture, has always been taught. When a ritual reveals that he possesses magical power, Dayven reflexively declines a wizard's apprenticeship. Then Dayven is asked by a Tharn overlord to accept the apprenticeship and report back on any treacherous alliances with the rebellious, oppressed Cenzar peoples.
