Description
From young Poniard’s perspective, stealing books is his first mistake…or perhaps choosing a powerful witch for a tutor. Either way, these beautiful books initiate a thirst for knowledge that leads him to violence, treachery, powerful magic, and the last living heir to the throne of Great Ocine.
To Al Maji Bin Aduun and his fearsome servant, Unom, the besetting issues of the land are far greater. They must keep witches, cultists and Shades from executing this young scholarly thief before they can divine his purpose, and they must walk a narrow line between warring powers opposed across the land.
If they fail, a four-thousand year cycle of genocide waits in the wings.
Winner of the Rupert Hughes Award for Literary Fiction, this first novel by Michiel Oakes creates an elaborate world with elements redolent of Tolkien, Oliver Twist, and the Arabian Nights. Part II of the series is scheduled for release March 2010.
