Books with author Nicholas Halliday

Lorian is thrilled to start his new apprenticeship at Norvind. He welcomes the tutelage of arch-mage Gawain. But does not welcome advice from the older mages urging him to be patient. Mastery of the Lumen will take time, they tell him. Patience was never a virtue in Lorian's mind. For him, it was an excuse to justify stagnation - one used by the less capable to limit the ones on the true path to power. After all, what use was the most powerful school of magic if you were still a slave to time?For others, however, patience was paramount. They had lain dormant for thousands of years, waiting for the right pieces to fall in place. Lorian's thirst for power, a discharged soldier's recklessness and an uncannily intelligent child's willingness to plunge the city's underworld into a guild war. That was all it would take to break the shackles of death and unleash the Will of the Covenant once more.
