Necromancer

Spellmonger, Book 10

By: Terry Mancour

Narrated by: John Lee

Company’s coming!

Just when Baron Minalan the Spellmonger figured out there was a slim chance to restore his mind-shattered wife, Alya (if he's willing to journey to the undercaverns of Olum Seheri, the lair of Korbal the Necromancer), things start to go awry: not only does Prince Tavard, his unloved liege lord, decide to conduct an official state visit to Sevendor on pilgrimage to the Everfire on the Briga's feast day, but a mysterious seamage appears at his door with an intriguing offer from the Sea Folk who rule Callidore: They want to buy snowstone. An entire mountain of it.

Between feuding factions of Alka Alon and the contentious nobility of his own kingdom, Minalan is already in arcane intrigue up to his pointy hat, but when the foremost wizard of the age has problems, he also has resources. Before the pilgrimage concludes it sets mighty actions in their courses, and even the gods elect to intervene publicly in Minalan's life.

Minalan realizes that he has little choice but to consider an impossible quest into the heart of his enemy's realm, to the caverns of the dead, themselves, if he is to resolve the many conflicts in play. He must recover an ancient artefact of the Sea Folk known as the Handmaiden, and in order to do so he will have to organize the most audacious raid on the most horrific foe in humanity's history on Callidore! Who else but Minalan the Spellmonger has the magic stones to challenge the undead might of the Necromancer!

With all respect to those that wax derogatorily...

Those that don't appreciate a neo-medieval, post interstellar Distant Mirror need not apply. If you don't understand that, an understanding of Myers-Briggs and how people that are process-oriented think, will help. Terry is certainly one of us. Those that criticize character development and progression must have favorite characters that they want more focus on or they don't appreciate world-building. This is a world that rivals that of Tolkien's Middle Earth Herbert's Dune, and Jordan's world in The Wheel of Time. Of course, there are NPC's here, but this is a vibrant world with back-characters that are alive, participatory, and become part of the story after being absent for several books. While the Spellmoger Wiki is helpful, Terry offers enough memory-jogs to allow you to place them in the universe without extensive research. Cleverly done.

There are roughly 20 books left and I believe that the best is yet to come.

Must read

I have listened to every book in this series thus far and Necromancer was 100% my favorite of them all. Hands down. No questions asked. If you enjoyed the earlier books in this series and/or you’re getting bored of it, I highly recommend sticking it out for this one. Brilliantly entertaining and inspired writing. Can’t wait for the next one to come out.

mancour continues to impress

absolutely love the series, loved how much more action there was compared to the last couple of books

Terry Mancour.amd John Lee did not disappoint with this book. i can't wait until the next one is out!!!!

Perfection, and i'm only 1/2 way through

Honestly one of the best books in this phenomenal series, Terry is truly an amazing Author! The book is my favorite in the series so far so i'm a bit biased but it is packed from start to finish its 40 hours long but worth every single minute. If you have been listening you will fall more in love with John Lees performance he truly brings each person to life.

Tryggs blessing upon you !

One of the best of the series

This was my favorite Spellmonger book in a while. If you've made it this far idk why you are reading reviews you are already committed to the series, so dive in and enjoy.

the best book in the series so far

this book could have ended half way thru and been awesome. I checked at one point expecting to be disappointed with there being only a few chapters left to find 30+more chapters and it was just more enthralling Minalan. the surprise short aside of Gatina being a yandere beast was... well I don't want to spoil, but I was crying laughing at what she had done. Poor Tavard tho, I honestly feel bad for him.
