The Magic Fix - Montanaro, Mark

. .

Résumé :
The Known World needs a fix or things could get very ugly (even uglier than an Ogre!) Did we win the battle? asked King Wyndham. Well it depends how you define winning, answered Longfield, one of the King's royal commanders. In fact, the Humans are fighting a losing battle with the Trolls. Meanwhile the Ogres are up to something, which probably isn't good. Could one flying unicorn bring about peace in the Known World? No, obviously not. But maybe a group of rebels have the answer. Or perhaps the answer lies with a young Pixie with one remarkable gift. Does the Elvish Oracle have the answer? Who knows? And, even if she did, would anyone understand her cryptic answers (we all know what Oracles are like!) The Known World is in danger of being rent in twain, and twain-rending is never good! Did I mention the dragon? No? Ah... well... there's also a dragon. Cover design: A and S Buck
