Rhythmic and musical, this LoTR-inspired work dazzles the imagination with prose that jumps out of the page to dance, with characters who represent more than themselves, and with a world as charming as it is simple and grounded. The story, a simple tale to tell, follows the yet-unnamed Samuel as he finds out what it means to become a wizard and to use his powers accordingly. Note: Book 3 is a novella to be published sometime next year, 2023.
