There's just one problem: his magic is fading. <p/>Facing exile unless he can pass the mage trials, Kellen is willing to risk everything -- even his own life -- in search of a way to restore his magic. But when the enigmatic Ferius Parfax arrives in town, she challenges him to take a different path. <p/>One of the elusive Argosi, Ferius is a traveller who lives by her wits and the cards she carries. Daring, unpredictable, and wielding magic Kellen has never seen before, she may be his only hope. <p/>The first novel in a compelling six-book series, bursting with tricks, humor, and a whole new way to look at magic. <p/>Spellslinger Series</b><i>Spellslinger</i><i>Shadowblack</i><i>Charmcaster</i><i><br></i>For more from Sebastien de Castell, check out: <br><b>The Greatcoats Quartet</b><i>Traitor's Blade</i><i>Saint's Blood</i><i>Knight's Shadow</i><i>Tyrant's Throne</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Spellslinger</i> is the start of something truly special.
