The Islands of Blest keep the balance of magic in half the multiverse.
If something goes wrong with the magic on Blest, it will have a ripple effect on many other worlds. Something is about to go wrong...
It all begins when the Merlin of Blest dies of a heart attack.
Or was he murdered by sorcery?
Two friends, Roddy and Grundo, suspect a conspiracy, but no adult will believe them.The dangers are great, and if they fail to stop the conspirators before they disrupt the balance of magic, the results will be more destructive than anyone can imagine.
“Diana Wynne Jones is, quite simply, the best writer of magic there is, for readers of any age.”
Neil Gaiman, author of CORALINE
“The characterisation is first-rate, the ideas are fabulous...
This is fantasy at its most inventive - canny, funny and far-reaching
