Peer pressure, taunting, getting sucked into the wrong crowd. Such is what young Kyril faces in Mike Shelton
Mark of the Medallion (The Wizard Academies Book 1). Of course the school here is a wizard academy, and the wrong crowd here is far more disastrously dangerous that an ordinary school crowd. Great basis to start what looks to be a neat story arc, in a first book that was truly fun. I’m definitely looking forward to the next one, and definitely recommend this one.
Overall rating: 5
After falling in love with the cremelino series, my curiosity was high with this interesting blurb for this book. I am over the moon happy for not being disappointed in the slightest! Wonderful characters set down to an journey full of mystery and awe! The blurb is spot on so the necessity of recapping isn’t warranted. What I need to convey is this….lovers of fantasy will not be disappointed and definitely need to get started on this series! Can’t wait for mire! All my reviews are always voluntarily written.

Great author, awesome book, quick read.
Received this ARC and am leaving an honest review.
Received as a review copy, this is an honest review. Kyril is an apprentice wizard of the mind attending a prestigious academy. While mostly forgotten by most of the students, he gets the attention of a powerful wizard, whose ambitious ideas could alter the structure of power. At the same time something odd is affecting students and adults alike that’s not really understood. If Kyril and his friends are not careful, things could become deadly. Highly recommended.

Villain Hurtful,loyal,cruel, Kyril has no idea that his new friends has little interest of him only for what he capacity of bringing to the group of wizards. Tried of being pushed around.
This is a wonderful YA Fantasy book. The first in a new series by Mike Shelton and, as usual, he writes his characters with great depth, real feeling and empathy. The world building is great and believable. I can’t recommend this enough to anyone that enjoys coming of age fantasy novels. Run, don’t walk, and get this book now! 🙂
When a teenage wizard, who’s pai were have always been marginal, finds his powers increasing when he gets angry he’s not sure what’s going on, but he’ll take all the power he can give. Kyril has been an orphan, and treated like a second class citizen for as long as he can remember. When he starts making new apprentice friends, and a renowned mage takes him under his wing, he finds himself on top of the world. His old friends are worried, and truthfully so is he a little bit. Can he spy on his new friends, and still keep his new found status??? Can he not spy on these new friends when their activities become more and more questioning? The plot is a bit easy to work out, but the characters are fun, if a bit predictable. All in all a good, quick read.
Wizard’s at large. Kyril came from a poor family but when his family died he touched a medallion his mother had and it burnt the shape into his hand. Finding out he had magic, he went to a Wizard’s Academy where he was an apprentice. Lots of things were happening at the school, some good, some bad. Good characters, good reading.
set in the same world as the Alaris Chronicles and the Cremelino Prophecy this one is set in Gildan and about three medallion magic artifacts. A well written story that sucks you into the world Mike has created.
