Makara's Hope - Lost Citadels of Andrysfal, #1

Seven ancient civilizations. One mage apprentice. A journey to rediscover all that was lost. Harpyn Freeble dreams of becoming a powerful mage. He gave up everything to apprentice himself to the one and only Mage Consul. But when the world is shattered by a terrible explosion, Harpyn finds himself without a mentor and without the key to saving humanity. That is, until he discovers an ancient artifact that will lead him back to a time when magic flowed freely and the Seven Citadels still stood. With no one left to guide him but the magic itself, can Harpyn harness the power of the ancients and restore the world's greatest civilizations, or will he die trying?
