Pool of Knowledge — Vaughan W. Smith

Finding out you are a wizard…
…is only half the story.
Alrion answers the call with a mixture of fear and excitement. Finally, a chance to prove himself and discover his true purpose. But his potential was kept a secret his entire life.
What else were they hiding?
Tales of the Blight hint at darkness and danger. A mysterious force that sounds like it's from a fairy tale. As he travels Alrion starts to understand the truth. His power is unique, and the spread of the Blight and his emergence as a wizard are not a coincidence.
Many trials and an impossible quest lay ahead of Alrion. Can he rise above his lack of training and overcome the twisted creatures of the Blight? Or will he falter and suffer a fate worse than death?
You'll love this action-packed fantasy adventure because of the interesting magic system, the steady growth of the lead character, and the surprising twists and turns.
