Summary
Magister Coelus, the College’s young and brilliant theorist, finally has a student capable of learning theoretical magery at the level at which he can teach it. He invites her to help him with his current research project, which promises to funnel through the hands of one mage more power than any mage has ever had. Ellen, who knows more about both the theory and practice of magic than a first year student should know, refuses, arguing that the Cascade will do more harm than good.
When news of the project reaches Prince Kieron, brother and heir of the king and Royal Master of Mages, he insists that it be completed in secret and employed, if at all, only under royal authority. Word has also reached Lord Iolen, Kieron’s competent, cold-blooded, and ambitious nephew, with his own ideas of how and by whom the Cascade should be used. Ellen and Coelus must together face the conflicting threats and demands of two arrogant and powerful men, the peril posed by the very existence of the Cascade, and their feelings for each other.
Forty years earlier Olver, a founder of the College, took the first steps in converting magery from a craft to a science. It is for his successors to deal with the consequences.

Excellently Narrated
As much as the story didn’t have me completely gripped, I found the narration by Mr Power to be thoroughly engaging! Fantastic work!

Fun book, wonderfully read
Good story, great for teens - a bit to get going but then lots of fun. Exquisitely read, especially with accents and acting! Looking forward to more from both David Friedman and Robert Power.

Intricate story with excellent narration
The first act is weighty, but the narrator deftly guides you through it. You are then rewarded with a thrilling adventure.
