An apprenticeship amid a widening conflict

On Midkemia, Pug’s path from orphaned boy to court magician’s apprentice intersects with a conflict that reaches beyond his world. After a courageous act earns him a place as a squire, he and his friend Tomas face danger as invaders emerge through a rift. The story combines a young character’s unusual relationship with magic and a larger struggle between Order and Chaos, with the fate of Midkemia tied to Pug’s abilities. As the opening volume of the Riftwar Saga, it establishes both a personal coming-of-age thread and an epic-fantasy conflict.

Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar Saga--a classic of fantasy literature which no true fan should be without--opens with this tale of magic, might, and adventure.

Orphaned boy Pug is apprenticed to a powerful court magician named Kulgan in the world of Midkemia. Though ill at ease with the normal ways of wizardry, Pug soon earns his place as a squire after saving the life of one of the royals at court. But his courage will be tested still further when dark beings from another world open a rift in the fabric of spacetime to rekindle the age-old battle between the forces of Order and Chaos.

Now the lives of Pug and his friend Tomas are thrown into danger and disarray. Only Pug's strange brand of magic might yet turn the tide, in the struggle to repel the invaders and restore peace to Midkemia.
