The Lost City of Ithos

Mage Errant, Book 4

By: John Bierce

Narrated by: Ralph Lister

Half a millennium ago, in a desperate attempt to defeat the Ithonian Empire, Kanderon Crux and her allies banished the city of Imperial Ithos from the world of Anastis.

Her dread weapon, the Exile Splinter, even erased the memory of its location from the universe. Now it's returning and bringing the Exile Splinter back with it.

The great powers of the continent are desperately hunting for the site of the lost city, knowledge lost even to Kanderon herself. None know what ancient Ithonian weapons and enchantments might still be found in the ruins, but the Exile Splinter alone would be a prize to justify war.

Hugh and his friends find themselves dragged along on the search, where they'll face enemy warlocks, sea monsters, liches, unnatural storms, and even a man-eating tiger. However, there's something they're not being told about the lost city...something that has even Kanderon and the other great powers terrified.

Includes Murder at Ras Andis, a bonus novella from the Mage Errant series, and a special note from the author.

Fantastic

Ugh, this book is so fun and good, I love this series and I'm excited everytime a new book is released

imaginative

I enjoy these stories very much. Many of the incidents snd battles show unusual pieces i havent noticed in other books or stories. looking forward to next book.

Another good addition

I enjoyed this book. The progression has slowed down some, but it is still interesting. A lot of fighting in this book, with many new powers to see, so that was interesting. I look forward to the next book.

A rather wonderful inclusion in the tale

Keeping things brief, I found this to be a rare thing in book series of this nature, and that is a (likely temporary) stopping point. A great many tales continue to force build up over buildup, without accompanying lore or character growth. This book does not do that, it is not a forced lengthening of the story. I will take a break from this series having had many of the open-ends tied up, and will pretty much only be returning because the continued story isn't thrust upon the reader/listerner. Many other series i've given up due to the endless same old and minimal resolution, this book did that in a rather satisfying way, in a sense.

Finally, I want to simply say that the story at the end, AND particularly the theme of the message from the author at the very end were refreshing and, for me, a positive end to the listen. For those not into it, can just totally skip, you still get a heck of content for your credit/buck but yeah, generally positive vibes all around.

brilliant, enjoyable fun
