Battle Mage: Aquila

Deliverance – Part I

By: Peter A. Flannery

Narrated by: John Sackville

For years, Aquila Danté has been fighting the Possessed with his dragon, Calon Tân. Together with the human armies they are holding the legions of hell at bay. But when a battle mage goes missing, Aquila and Tân encounter a new and terrifying demon known as Caim, The Cleaver of Souls. Even as Aquila battles Caim, his wife is giving birth to their son, but fate deals a heavy blow, and Aquila begins a new battle against tragedy, grief and the endless machinations of the magi. And all the while, the scales of his beloved dragon grow darker. Calon Tân will soon turn black, and as everyone knows, black dragons are the enemy of humankind; black dragons are mad. As Aquila and Tân fight to keep the madness at bay, another child is born in the Forsaken Lands of Beltane. Daughter to a healer and a failed battle mage, this child must survive years of danger and hardship. Only then will she receive her tribal name and ignite a spark of hope. Meanwhile, Captain Mathilda Steinhardt wages war with her bodyguard of knights and an orphaned youth who has the potential to become a great knight if only he can stop joking around. And all the while, a captured battle mage writhes in agony while a novice mage descends into darkness as he seeks answers from a mysterious individual known only as the Sinner. Heroes fall, and new heroes rise in the epic tale of Aquila, a battle mage who sows the seeds of victory even as his own tragic fate is sealed.

AQUILA is the prequel to the bestselling epic fantasy book BATTLE MAGE. Although the events in this book take place earlier, it is ‘highly’ recommended that people listen to Battle Mage first.

Wow!!

This book is amazing, Battle Mage is still my favorite book but this one is pretty good and a very close second. I love the story of Falcons father it’s so sad and tragic. Idk how the author dose it but he had me invested in all the characters in this book even the ones that aren’t related to the characters in Battle Mage. The only reason I say this is second to Battle Mage is because of the narrator and that’s only because he is different from the original story. It makes since to change it up but I’m horrible with change so there we go. In summary Mr. Flannery has a huge fan in me and love his stories it’s worth the money or credits if you’re looking for an epic adventure.

Magnificent

Love the book, battle mage is one of my favorite books, it was my favorite stand stone, so now that it's becoming a series, I'm pumped. so good

Loss of focus - What is this book supposed to be?

This book jumped from character to character and had a terrible ending. What is the purpose of this story? I listened to the book start to finish, hoping, that some glimmer of the previous book's greatness would come through. I wish I would have never listened to this book and ruin the great feeling of the previous book. This book reads like the author decided he hated the world and wanted everyone else to feel his pain.
