Roddy Hyde discovers a plot against the King of Blest involving the Merlin, the court magician who guards the magical balance in Blest. The world in which Nick Mallory lives seems very ordinary by comparison. Not surprising, because it is our own earth, where magic does not work after all. Roddy desperately seeks help. Nick is willing to help, it only worries him that she thinks he is a powerful mage. Diana Wynne Jones is the best magic writer out there, for readers of any age. With her unique combination of magic, humor and rich imagination, she has entertained children and adults alike with her books since 1973, for which she is renowned worldwide. In the Netherlands she has already won the Zilveren Griffel (1981) and abroad she received the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, the Mythopeid Award, the Karl Edward Wagner Award and was runner-up for the Children's Book Award and the prestigious Carnegie Medal.
