The Awakened Mage (Kingmaker, Kingbreaker Book 2) Kindle Edition
Asher has come a long way for a fisherman's son. Together with his friend Prince Gar, he has defended their kingdom against its bitterest enemy, but at great cost.
Now, the evil mage Morg is preparing for his most deadly assault. Desperate, trapped in a broken body, Morg has little time and fewer scruples. And he has a plan.
As Gar and Asher unwittingly fall into a dangerous deception, Morg gets ever closer to his goal. And this victory would be particularly sweet? For who better to destroy the kingdom than the two who would give anything to save it?

About the author
Karen Miller was born in Vancouver, Canada, but was raised in Sydney, Australia where she still lives today. She wanted to be a writer from early childhood, but that took some time to happen. While she was waiting she worked as a public servant, a receptionist, in the horse industry, in local government, in publishing, in telecommunications, as a college lecturer and ran her own science fiction/fantasy/mystery bookshop. She fell in love with Star Wars when she saw it on the big screen, the very first time it was released in 1977. That love affair has lasted her whole life. So far she's written six mainstream fantasy novels and two Stargate SG-1 tie-ins.

"The evil foretold has risen ... and we are all that stands between it and the end."Asher has come a long way for a fisherman's son.

Yes, as some of the other reviewers have stated, Asher's love interest (Dathne) is less that appealing -- she's whiny and bitchy at times. I guess love is blind! I wish the author had allowed us to get to know her better (and/or made her grow-up a little).
And, no, there's not a lot of the battle and action that some fantasy series excel in.
These two books are not ground breaking fantasy. They are extraordinarily well written, compelling stories about friendship, honor, betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption.
Frankly, I wept for Asher and for Gar, especially. Noone should have to endure his soul-deep pain . I wish there had been a happily ever after ending for all of the characters, but the author's choices made sense and brought peace and closure that worked.
These two books are not light, airy reading for the beach (I disagree with a reviewer who stated otherwise).
The characters undergo soul-wrenching trials and not all survive. So, if you'd like an easy read with a fairy tale ending (and don't we all prefer our fantasy that way sometimes) then this isn't a good choice for you.
Still, an amazing journey and well worth the read.
Book come in excellent condition. Had no damage on it, box was fitted enough to protect and prevent movement in transit.
So we see what happens with Gar, Morg,Asher, Dathne , and Matt as the main characters,

I'm disappointed there aren't more books in this series.
