Magus of the Library, Vol. 2: Ambition Tested

A story about a poor boy swept away by a kind library mage and the (literal) magic of reading, Magus of the Library is a beautifully-drawn, spirited fantasy adventure, like a Fullmetal Alchemist for all ages!

In the small village of Amun lives a poor boy named Theo. Theo adores books, but because of his pointed ears and impoverished life, he isn't allowed to use the village library. As he endures the prejudice and hatred of the village, he dreams of going where such things don't exist: Aftzaak, City of Books. But one day, Theo chances to meet a Kafna - a librarian who works for the great library of Aftzaak - and his life changes forever...

Ambition Tested

Theo has set out from his hometown on a journey to the great city of Aftzaak with three goals: to see the city he's longed for his whole life, to take the test to become a Kafna, and to return the book lent to him by Sedona seven years earlier - the book that changed his life. The journey is difficult and the road long, but the world is filled with things for a young scholar like Theo to learn.

Yet no matter how prepared he feels, the test that awaits Theo in Aftzaak is unlike anything he's faced before...
