About this ebook
The new novel in the sweeping Mageworlds series.
On the planet Entibor, Arekhon sus-Khalgath sus Peledaen has found shelter and domestic tranquility with his old love, Elaeli Inadi, at the price of what he had left behind: a dispersed and shattered Mage-Circle, an estranged brother who had tried to kill him, and a homeworld on the cusp of massive cultural upheaval.
Arekhon finds himself impelled homeward by strange dreams and prophetic visions. The Great Working—the effort to do the unthinkable and reunite a galaxy long sundered by the Gap Between—remains incomplete, left unfinished in the aftermath of the dissolution of Arehkon's Mage-Circle. But too much energy and too many lives have been poured into the Working already; and it cannot end so long as any of the Circle members remain alive and bound into it.
Home, unfortunately, isn't a safe place for Arehkon to be at the moment. For Eraasi has changed—and the great fleet families at the center of the Eraasian culture are girding for war.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Reviews for A Working of Stars
23 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another credible effort in the Doyle/MacDonald Mageworld Series. Don't expect anything groundbreaking or profound, but if you're looking for a quick, entertaining read in classic "space opera" mode, I wholeheartedly recommend any of the books of this series (especially the first trilogy). A Working of Stars is the second novel in a pre-prequel set that presumably will be wrapped-up in a forthcoming third story.
