He’s blown up a factory, lost his job, and there’s a chance that he’s not really a Third Grade wizard after all. Career disaster strikes again.
Luckily, an influential friend manages to get him a posting. So it’s off to New Ottosland to be the new Court Wizard for King Lional. His back-up, an ensorcelled bird with a mysterious past, seems dubious. But it’s New Ottosland, or nothing.
Unfortunately, King Lional isn’t the vain, self-centred young man he appeared to be. With a Princess in danger, a bird-brained back-up, and a kingdom to save, Gerald soon suspects he might be out of his depth. And if he can’t keep this job, how can he become the wizard he was destined to be …
Praise for Karen Miller (K. E. Mills' pseudonym):
- 'Scenes unfold with the intimacy of live theatre, dialogue resonates as if heard . . . The ending has the impact of a sledgehammer - the sort of conclusion you remember for years and keep revisiting in your imagination’ Glenda Larke, 'Miller's debut is a blockbuster story crafted with a strong sense of wonder ... Fans of Fiona McIntosh will devour this book' Nexus
