language
( Sept. 13, 2011)
Ermine Stone’s life has never been easy. His most desperate wish in the whole world, to know his real name, seems destined never to be granted. His master, the permanently disgruntled, magician Harold Halfdan seems determined to stop him learning any magic at all. Yet some talents cannot be denied, and Ermine’s magic has a habit of breaking out despite his master’s displeasure.
Although Ermine doesn’t know it, his master Harold has been given a mission, by a witch who died days after Ermine was born. He knows that he must take his apprentice to London, to the Guild of Magicians. It is a journey which brings both of them into peril for their lives.
Set in an England which is not as it was, but as it might have been had Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon had a son, David Clark’s, taut, exciting story is a must-read and re-read for fantasy lovers of all ages. The clever use of chapter headings brings the world of the book to life, and gives it a real depth of texture.
This epic magical adventure is the first in the Ermine Stone series.
