Books with title The Fifth Wheel

This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

He’s an Elemental, a person born with magic, and he says that Suzanne is one, too. If she chooses magic, Suzanne is stuck in Benowa with Gabriel forever; if she doesn’t, she’ll be free, but alone and vulnerable to other Elementals who want her power for themselves. And Gabriel is not the only one who has noticed her…
