4-6Celestine Chronicles series.
Orphaned wizard's apprentice Marcus joins in his village's quest to find the fabled Rock of Ivanore. Along the way, he encounters mysterious strangers, uncovers a threat to the kingdom, and discovers the truth about his past. While this straightforward fantasy treads no new ground and the prose is derivative, readers who enjoy classic quest tales will appreciate the story's familiarity.
