Magic's Mantle

Ard's Oath, Book 1

By: Bruce Sentar

Narrated by: Jessica Threet, Chris Boucher

Arden was left in the village by a dying mage, who never returned. With no way out of the village on his own, he had always held onto the hope that one day his magic would awaken and give him access to his spheres.

But he’s about to turn eighteen and it’s never come. Instead, he’s settled into his lot as a sarcastic and quick-witted innkeeper.

That all changes one night when his old flame, who escaped the village to become a mage’s anchor, returns.

Ard’s life is about to go through some dramatic changes, and he’s not ready for them.

Too bad, with magic comes responsibility and Ard needs to adapt quickly because he’s making more enemies than friends with his glib tongue. Thankfully, he’s got some help along the way.

Because he’ll need it. As the most powerful mage in the nation, he’s about to be thrown headfirst into the elite of the kingdom and a few jokes won’t stop a sword.

Great book

Really great book, love the story, the magic the only thing that would make it better is if the mc calmed down with his comments. Some are funny but some I feel are just over the top and take away from the story, kinda makes you wanna drop it sometimes.

Yes so good no AWESOME

I must have the next book no I NEED the next book this book was so great keep them coming with PITCHERS Please

unexpected gem

I bought this book on a whim. I love the characters and the banter that takes place even though it can get a little old after awhile.
I like the overall storyline but I just wish that the progression slowed a bit. I feel like the main character development is coming to easy and going to fast.

spend the credit, it's worth it.

Ard is cringe sometimes

the narrarator isn't smooth enough for the wit, if he could deliver some of the lines in a more chill tone the "witt" might come off less cringe

Best work yet

Definetly the best book bruce had put out so far and as someone who has read the next two installments it just keeps getting better.
