The Awakened Mage by Karen Miller
This novel brings to a conclusion Karen Miller's epic Kingmaker, Kingbraker series. In this installment, we find Asher helping Gar adjust to the death of his family as well as his new role as king. Gar makes Asher the Olken administrator, to the acclaim of his fans and muttering of his enemies. Asher is finally also making headway in wooing Dathne. Things look like they are going well.
That is until Gar's magic begins to fail and Asher's begins to emerge. Then Gar asks Asher to risk everything to help him keep up the facade, neither realizing that the darkest force of all is behind everything, waiting for the right time to strike.
Although there is a little dip in pace in the middle, Miller's story moves at a good clip, coming to a thrilling conclusion. These are main characters that you care for and a main villain that you can boo. Worth getting.
