The D'Karon Apprentice - Joseph Lallo

The D'Karon Apprentice is the fourth novel in the Book Of Deacon series. The first three books in the series, The Book of Deacon, The Great Convergence, and The Battle of Verril, must be read before this one. You could even read the prequel, The Rise of the Red Shadow, and the follow-on novelette Jade, before reading this story. They're all worth the time spent.

The Perpetual War is over and the D'Karon have been defeated. Six months of an unsteady peace have passed. Word has recently spread from the Tressor lands to the south that magic is being used. Before these rumors disturb the fragile peace, Deacon, Myranda, and Myn are dispatched south to investigate. Perhaps a D'Karon was missed. Or perhaps something just as bad or worse has awakened. Another great adventure with magic, dragons, and all manner of monsters. Very highly recommended indeed.
