Description
Book Two in Jude Fisher's acclaimed FOOL'S GOLD trilogy Magic has returned to Elda, creating all manner of wonders and terrors. None yet know that the source of this magic is the legendary Rosa Eldi, restored to the world, but not yet restored to herself. Unaware of her true nature, she has married King Ravn Asharson of the North, and now with usurpers and assassins circling she must conceive a child to establish the succession. In the Southern Empire, the fire of holy war is smouldering and show more violence is everywhere, fuelled by fundamentalist hatred and bigotry. Caught up in these machinations, peace-loving Saro Vingo is forced to take up arms against the North; and Virelai, apprentice sorcerer, finds himself chained to the murderous plans of his master, Tycho Issian. Ignoring his king's call to arms, Aran Aranson, chief of the Rockfall clan, is in the grip of a mad obsession borne of a magical map and dreams of sailing the frozen seas to Sanctuary, island of legend, to find a fortune. His daughter, Katla, dreams of sailing with him; but her fate lies elsewhere. All over Elda, forces are aligning themselves for good or for evil. There is magic in the world again, but it is wild and u show lessTags

Yes, I liked Sorcery Rising so much that I ran out and got the next book in the series, Wild Magic.
Wild Magic is not as good as Sorcery Rising. I don't feel that the characters are as engaging as they were when they were introduced...learning more about them is disheartening not illuminating. At lest so far; I'm putting the book down for a while because I'm having to force myself to read a paragraph at a time.

Katla Aransen a miraculeusement réchappé au bûcher auquel elle était condamnée par les fanatiques religieux de l'Empire sudiste d'Istria. Ses pouvoirs magiques naissants l'ont sauvée, bien malgré elle... Le sorcier Virelai poursuit sa mission secrète et entre au service d'un noble istrien, Ticho Issian, envoûté par la mystérieuse Rosa Eldi, l'épouse du roi. Alors que les tensions et la violence montent entre les deux peuples ennemis, les religieux préparent une guerre sainte contre Eyra, le royaume du nord. Mais Katla va découvrir une prophétie qui changera son destin et celui de son peuple.
