The Burning Stone (The Mages of Garillon, Book 1)

CARADOC has been expelled from the Order of Mage-Hospitallers despite his astonishing talent, because he cannot discipline himself as a mage must, but he has his mage-stone still in his possession! BORTHEN has uses for Caradoc, and the mage-stone. MARGOTH, Caradoc's sister, and SERDOR, Caradoc's friend, wish to save Caradoc from descent into evil. GWYNMIRA cares nothing for any of them, she only wishes to rule Garrilon. And EVELAKE is an innocent boy, caught in an adventure far beyond his understanding.
