DESCRIPTION:
After 1,000 years of peace, much Magick has faded from the world. There are no High Mages, and Wild Mages are seen only rarely. Tiercel, a young Armethalian nobleman, is convinced that High Magick is not just philosophy. New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory first teamed up to write the Obsidian Trilogy, which was set in a wondrous world filled with magical beings, competing magic systems, and a titanic struggle between good and evil. To Harrier's dismay, it seems that he must become a hero. Along the way, they meet a charming female centaur, several snooty Elves, and the most powerful dragon their world has ever known.. That world proved so popular with the creators and readers alike that Lackey and Mallory have returned to it again, with The Phoenix Unchained, Book One of The Enduring Flame, the opening volume of a new epic fantasy trilogy. Tiercel survives Bisochim's attack and begins trying to turn himself into a High Mage. He attempts a spell-and draws the unwelcome attention of Bisochim. In The Phoenix Unchained, Harrier and Tiercel begin a marvelous journey to uncover their destinies. Bisochim, a powerful Wild Mage, is determined to reintroduce Darkness to the world, believing that it is out of Balance. The Elves live far from h
Then Tiercel Rolfort, the scholarly son of lower nobility, rediscovers High Magick. Characters familiar from earlier books have become legends from a dim past. Wielders of Wild Magic are extremely rare. Having found and bonded with the dragon Saravasse, he plans to draw on her power to further his dark goals.

Meanwhile, Wild Mage Bisochim has become convinced of his calling to set the balance aright by bringing darkness back into the world. . The city of Armethalieh is n
Enjoyable Lynn B. Schornick This three-part series of books were fun to read but not terribly engaging. I don't believe they are Lackey's best work. I have enjoyed other of her books much more. If you just want to kill some time, have fun with these. Otherwise, I couldn't really recommend them.. "Weak follow up to a decent trilogy" according to Erik. The "Obsidian Trilogy" started out with the same story that seems to appear in all of Mercedes Lackey's novels lately. A troubled teenager discovers their destiny, etc. I liked the first two books of the "Obsidian Trilogy" pretty well, and the Demons even invoked a few shivers. The third book fell flat and seemed to be rushed. The Demons were defeated too easily after all the references to how evil and clever they were.This book starts out with even less to like than the third "Obsidian" book. The plot is too simple and the characters are too shallow. I found myself wonde. "What a surprise" according to Starleaf. I didn't want to buy this book because the story continues 1,000 years after Kellen and Vestakia and Cilarnen. How can a story "continue" a 1,000 years later?But, silly me, this is Mercedes Lackey we are talking about and when I finally bought the book and then actually opened it two months later (I didn't believe for a minute it would be as good as the Obsidian Trilogy), I was almost immediately sucked into the story.Wild Magic and Centaurs and Knight Mages, oh my. And Jermayan and Idalia and Ancaladar!! Completely compelling right down to the last sentence when Harrier
