Of Wizards and Men — Trip Ellington

Much changed for young wizard's apprentice Mithris after his master was attacked by foul beasts, and Mithris was forced to grow from naïve and clumsy wizard's apprentice into a hero that could avenge his master's destruction. After destroying the beasts that took his master away, and learning much about himself and his path to becoming a wizard in the process, Mithris is about to learn that he's only begun to scratch the surface of his future path…
After learning of the presence of another Foundation Crystal in the very city he is visiting, Mithris realizes that it's time to step up again and assume his destiny. However, he will have to do battle with the evil wizard Eaganar in the process, a challenge that is unlike anything Mithris has faced before.

Faced with dire circumstances, Mithris has only one chance; to find sanctum in the friendly wizard Avington's tower. Whether he has learned the spirit and strength to do it is another question entirely…
