Runcible Jones and the Gate to Nowhere
O tej e-knjigi
In a world terrified of magic, a boy is abandoned to the worst school in the world – Grimdgrim. A place designed to crush all magic out of him. But Runcible Jones has to learn magic, to uncover the truth about his father’s death on another world.
Hurled through a gate to magical Iltior, Runcible’s arrival begins a war that will spread to Earth. But why is Lord Shambles, the blackest sorcerer on Iltior, hunting him?
To uncover the truth, Runcible must fight the dreadful sorcerer, but even if he wins, nothing will ever be the same again.
After every defeat, Lord Shambles comes back stronger than before, and more determined to punish humanity. Having crushed all resistance on magical Iltior, he moves the war to Earth, and so much power has been drained that the world is on the verge of collapse.
Unfortunately, Earth’s weapons are useless against this enemy. Only Runcible Jones can stop him, though it’s an impossible battle – a fourteen-year-old boy against the most terrible sorcerer on two worlds. Runcible will need every bit of his courage and cunning to save Earth.
