A young boy with no magical talent is chosen to apprentice for a powerful mage and must navigate a dangerous labyrinth to prove himself in this hit coming-of-age fantasy adventure laced with magic and intrigue. Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student mage that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely manage any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively. Hugh would be delighted to just keep his head down and avoid bullies. Unfortunately for Hugh, life's got other plans for him. When an unusual mage chooses him as an apprentice, he's drawn into a morass of deadly tests, political machinations, giant monsters, sand pirates, warring cults, and flesh-tearing sandstorms. So much for Hugh keeping his head down. Set in a world filled with intricate magic, diverse creatures, and high-stakes politics, the first hardcover edition of Mage Errant, includes both volumes previously published as Into the Labyrinth and Jewel of the Endless Erg. For Fans of: The Name of the Wind, the Harry Potter series, The Atlas Six, Red Rising, The Magicians, and The Scholomance Trilogy. PRAISE FOR MAGE ERRANT: "A masterclass on writing in all its forms: characters that demonstrate both realism and depth, a vibrantly lived-in world, and a diverse cast with their own goals, all capped by a detailed yet approachable magic system worthy of titans like Brandon Sanderson." –Tobias Begley (author of Mana Mirror and The Enchanter) "A fantastic exploration of magic as a cultural and political force. The series grows with every book, providing enough detail to satisfy any taxonomist while steadily deepening the fundamental themes." –Sarah Lin (author of The Weirkey Chronicles and Street Cultivation) "Starts strong with a fantastic cast of colorful characters with unique and engaging magic, then swiftly grows into a unique exploration of how that same magic might shape a beautiful, diverse, and dangerous world." –Andrew Rowe (author of How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps) "Mage Errant's world-building and magic system stand out above the pack, with fascinating evolutions and battle scenes that will satisfy any anime fan. It's an academy story with a bite and fascinating characters who grow and learn as they progress through the series. Well worth the read." –Tao Wong, Author of the A Thousand Li and the System Apocalypse series "Highly imaginative, heartfelt, action packed, and utterly addictive. I could not put these books down and went immediately from one to the next, right up through the totally epic conclusion." –Dyrk Ashton, author of The Paternus Trilogy and Kraken Rider Z. "Wonderful characters, compelling and interesting magic system, and an underdog story that inspires you to binge read every book just to find out what happens next." –J.R. Mathews, author of Jake's Magical Market and Portal to Nova Roma.
