Items related to The Novice (Black Magician Trilogy)
Sonea knew the other novices in the Magicians' Guild all came from noble families and that, as a former slum-dweller, she could expect to be treated as an outsider, but she little realised the level of animosity she would face from her fellow students. The sons and daughters of the most powerful families in the realm, her classmates seem determined to see her fail - even if they have to engineer her failure themselves. Dannyl and Rothen offer Sonea what help they can, but when someone starts spreading malicious rumours about her, Akkarin, The High Lord, steps in to put a stop to it. But Sonea may soon wish she was still enduring the taunts of her peers, for in accepting the protection of the guild's high lord she may have embraced a far bleaker fate. It seems that Akkarin harbours a secret that is far darker than his magician's robes. Taken into his confidence, Sonea must keep the truth hidden. But by doing so, is she showing loyalty to the head of her guild, or making the worst mistake of her life?

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Trudi Canavan is the author of the bestselling Black Magician trilogy—The Magician's Guild, The Novice, and The High Lord—as well as Priestess of the White and Last of the Wilds, Books One and Two of her Age of the Five trilogy. She lives in a little house on a hillside, near a forest, in the Melbourne suburb of Ferntree Gully in Australia. She has been making up stories about things that don't exist for as long as she can remember, and was amazed when her first published story received an Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Short Story in 1999. A freelance illustrator and designer, she also works as the designer and Art Director of Aurealis, a magazine of Australian Fantasy & Science Fiction.
Ominous music at the beginning of each chapter sets the tone in this tale of magic and intrigue. Richard Aspel's subtle Australian accent has a mystical quality as he traces Sonea's first year as a novice in the Magician's Guild. The action alternates between Sonea's trials with her classmates and an undercover investigation of the Guild's leader. Aspel does his best to provide a unique voicing of each character, but even that is not always enough to keep the extensive cast of characters straight. Also, the supplementary information at the end of the audio, including a glossary, could have been better absorbed in a print format. E.N. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
