Reseña del editor:

In this Christian fantasy, one young wizard with a hunger for wisdom and some dangerous secrets finds himself pitted against another ready to reach for power with the darkest forces possible. Wizards have never in the history of Coventree, renounced Wizardry. But Blayn Goodwin finds himself growing detached from the practice of Wizardry, even as he rises through the ranks to become the youngest member of the Supreme Council. He has lost interest in the usual gods in favor of a god without a name, not that he makes that fact public. Edgar Savile has his own traitorous secrets and kidnaps Blayn's eldest son to prevent Blayn from probing into them. Meanwhile the Supreme Wizard, suspicious of Edgar, sends Blayn to retrieve an ancient book from the Other World, hoping it will arm them against Edgar's treachery. What Blayn finds is not what anyone expects, and threatens to tear Coventree's fraying system apart at the seams. "An intriguing and sometimes chilling tale of faith lost and rediscovered, Disenchanted is part fairy tale, part dystopia, part alternate history. An original debut from a promising new author." - Rachel Starr Thomson, author of The Seventh World Trilogy, The Oneness Cycle, and other books. www.rachelstarrthomson.com "An engaging and intelligent debut novel about faith and transformation, whose thoughtful message is contained in an exciting story featuring vivid characters and original worldbuilding. A very satisfying read!" -Victoria Strauss, author of The Burning Land

Biografía del autor:

After raising five children and one husband, Janet came to the obvious conclusion that writing novels was an essential part of the recovery process. So she writes. In whatever she writes, she aims for a deep honesty and a respect for the complexity of all human beings, from the most virtuous to the most depraved. Except, of course, when she’s just having fun. In addition to acquiring the husband and children, Janet also picked up a number of languages along the way, along with a rather diverse, some would say fragmented, resumé. She’s waited tables, cleaned furnaces, taught English as a Second Language, been a pastor's wife in a small church (a job in and of itself), sold life insurance and mutual funds, developed market forecasting models, and spent some years homeschooling. She loves music and gardening and animals and kids and food and travelling and life in general.
