—Worlds in a Grain of Sand
Praise for Spellwright
“I’m fascinated to see what happens next, and will be following every word with the absorption of an apprentice spellwright. You will be, too.”
—Tad Williams, bestselling author of Shadowmarch
“Think words can’t hurt you? Sometimes they can kill. The spells of textual magic of this enthralling tale will demonstrate how.”
—Terry Brooks, New York Times bestselling author
“An enjoyable, well-written novel, with a satisfying conclusion.”
—SFX Magazine, 4.5 stars
“A refreshingly new look at magic and the power of words. Nicodemus is a strong protagonist, but the supporting cast is equally as memorable. This series opener [will] resonate in the reader’s mind. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal, starred review
“Spellwright brims with a love for the genre and a thrill for written language.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
