Trying to remember the name of a book series but my crappy memory has let me down.

Pretty sure it was done by a popular author. Would be very grateful if somebody could identfy the books form the plot elements i can remember.

Starts with the central character(s) as teenager.

Boy displays powerful magical ability in defending a girl from a roaming monster.

Taken on by mage as apprentice but is unable to develop magical ability as the structured magical system does not work for him.

Later the apprentic and his boyhood friend end up in a dragons den the apprentic is taught dragon magic and the friend gets a powerful suit of armour/weapon.

Turns out their a second world with a different magic system that does work for apprentic.

Two worlds were seperated by an ancient mage due to protect them from a chaotic spirits who are the remments of a godlike race.

Apprentic combines the different magics and evetnually banishes the bad guys.

This all goes on with an epic war going on with good elves and mad elves.

Really enjoyed the books when i was young(er) 20 years ago.

Any ideas ?

If i had to guess i would say it was Magician, book one of the Riftwar saga by Raymond E Feist, though some of what you describe happens in the later books.

Yeah, I thought it was Magician. It's basically a very fairytale-esque book that develops some darker more interesting elements if I remember correctly.

Just finished the latest one, It's all right, but not as good as rift or serpent war saga's just doesn't seem to have that sense of epicness or drama about it anymore :(

Rather than creating another thread.....

....I thought I'd ressurect this one :)

Looking for a title, these are a trilogy, if I remmber, but the story is like this...ish.......
American civil war, a company of soldier get lost in an Iron Clad and end up in a world with "lizzards?" which travel around the planet ( or area ) using the inhabitants as cattle (food, slaves, ect) the soldiers using thier guns cannons ect fight back........... and so on.

Many thanks Medi.

P.s Mary Gentles "Grunts" is back in print YEAY !!!!!!! if I've posted that already, tough as deserves a double post :p :)
