Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely cast any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively.
If that wasn't bad enough, he's also managed to attract the ire of the most promising student of his year, who also happens to be the nephew of a king. Hugh has no friends, no talent, and does not expect any mage to choose him as an apprentice during the upcoming Choosing.
When a very unusual mage does choose him as apprentice, however, his life starts to take a sharp turn for the better. Now, all he has to worry about is the final test for the first years- being sent into the terrifying labyrinth below Skyhold.
Set in a world filled with intricate magic, diverse creatures, and high-stakes politics, INTO THE LABYRINTH is the start of the bestselling magic academy progression fantasy series, MAGE ERRANT.
For Fans of: The Name of the Wind, the Harry Potter series, The Atlas Six, Red Rising, The Magicians, and The Scholomance Trilogy.
