The Riddle of the Seer (The Power of Pain Book 1)

Jebbin finds a book of spells and learns to cast magic. The first lesson is that power comes from pain, that pain is shaped into power. At first this does not seem so important and Jebbin strides confidently into the world. Life as the son of a farmer does little to arm him against the snares of life and he finds himself jailed. In a cell, he meets a shady magician working on the Riddle of the Seer – but which of his fellow prisoners can he trust?
The Riddle of the Seer is a complete story in the Power of Pain series.
