Magic and mischief meet in Spellslinger

Spellslinger could be a great read for fans of magic and adventure. The book features a unique protagonist, Kellen, who faces challenges as he tries to become a mage despite having lost his magical abilities. The introduction of Ferius Parfax, a mysterious and cunning character, adds an interesting dynamic to the story. But perhaps the most unique and distinctive feature of the book is its inclusion of a talking squirrel cat, which adds a touch of humor and whimsy to the overall narrative. Readers will enjoy the clever twists and turns of the plot, as well as the vividly drawn world-building that brings the magical setting to life.

Description

There are three things that earn you a man’s name among the Jan’Tep. The first is to demonstrate the strength to defend your family. The second is to prove you can perform the high magic that defines our people. The third is simply to reach the age of sixteen. I was a few weeks shy of my birthday when I learned that I wouldn’t be doing any of those things.Magic is a con game. Kellen is moments away from facing his first mage's duel and the start of four trials that will make him a spellcaster. There's just one problem: his magic is gone. As his sixteenth birthday approaches, Kellen falls back on his cunning in a bid to avoid total disgrace. But when a daring stranger arrives in town, she challenges Kellen to take a different path. Ferius Parfax is one of the mysterious Argosi - a traveller who lives by her wits and the three decks of cards she carries. She's difficult and unpredictable, but she may be Kellen's only hope...
