- Synopsis
- “Think that words can’t hurt you? Sometimes they can kill. The spells of textual magic in this enthralling tale will demonstrate just how.” —Terry Brooks, New York Times–bestselling author of the Sword of Shannara trilogyNicodemus is a young, gifted wizard with a problem. Magic in his world requires the caster to create spells by writing out the text . . . but he has always been dyslexic, and thus has trouble casting even the simplest of spells. And his misspells could prove dangerous, even deadly, should he make a mistake in an important incantation.Yet he has always felt that he is destined to be something more than a failed wizard. When a powerful, ancient evil begins a campaign of murder and disruption, Nicodemus starts to have disturbing dreams that lead him to believe that his misspelling could be the result of a curse. But before he can discover the truth about himself, he is attacked by an evil that has already claimed the lives of fellow wizards. He must flee for his own life if he’s to find the true villain.But more is at stake than his abilities. For the evil that has awakened is a power so vast that if unleashed it will destroy Nicodemus . . . and the world.“Superbly tells the story of a young man searching for his place in the world.” —Booklist, starred review“The innovative spell craft will please fantasy readers.” —Publishers Weekly“Clever and original.” —Tad Williams, New York Times–bestselling author of Shadowmarch“A letter-perfect story: an absorbing read.” —Robin Hobb, New York Times–bestselling author of the Farseer trilogy
