The Ring of Allaire (Wizard's Destiny) ReviewI have been in love with this series for over twenty years. For more than ten years of that time, it's been out of print. I don't know that I would read it today with the same eyes I did as a teen, but I still remember the liking and empathy I had for Tristan and his companions. I'm still impressed with the twist in how Tristan finds Valadan. The city of magicians is still wondrous, despite the many others I've read about since I discovered the flavors of this one.
This is a book which takes fairy tale and epic fantasy, and twines them into one. As such, there will be familiar archetypes, but also new twists. There are shades of The Last Unicorn in Valadan's tale, while still being unique and different. Allaire's plight reminds the reader of Sleeping Beauty, but it's not the same tale at all. And, of course, Tristan calls to mind every orphaned hero since Arthur.The Ring of Allaire (Wizard's Destiny) OverviewTristan is a teenaged wizard with dark hair and green eyes--but he's no Harry Potter. No cozy boarding school for Tristan either--he's been home-schooled by the old wizard who discovered him as an abandoned infant under an apple tree on Midwinter's Night. There's no one to tell Tristan who he is or what abilities may be his. If not for Thomas, his smart-ass cat familiar, he'd be utterly lost. One ordinary afternoon, Tristan returns home to find that his master has vanished, leaving his unprepared apprentice to take up the entwined quests for the legendary warhorse Valadan and the lost princess Allaire of the Nine Rings. He'd be no one's first choice, but Tristan's the only one left to assemble the essentials of the quest--a wizard, the Warhorse, the heir to Calandra's throne--infiltrate Nimir's fortress of Darkenkeep, and steal Allaire from beneath the Winter King's icicled nose. In their hundreds, the other wizards have tried--and died. Tristan's training is exemplary. His will is indomitable. His confidence, however, is nonexistent, and his magic is flawed and unreliable. The fate of his world depends on him--whether he thinks himself equal to the task or not.
