Bøker av Sage Blackwood

In the Urwald, you don't step off the path. Trolls, werewolves, and butter churn?riding witches lurk amid the clawing branches, eager to swoop up the unwary. Jinx has always feared leaving the path?then he meets the wizard Simon Magus.Jinx knows that wizards are evil. But Simon's kitchen is cozy, and he seems cranky rather than wicked. Staying with him appears to be Jinx's safest, and perhaps only, option. As Jinx's curiosity about magic grows, he learns to listen to the trees as closely as he does to Simon's unusual visitors. The more Jinx discovers, the more determined he becomes to explore beyond the security of well-trodden paths.But in the Urwald, a little healthy fear is never out of place, for magic?and magicians?can be as dangerous as the forest. And soon Jinx must decide which is the greater threat.Sage Blackwood introduces a daring new hero for an innovative new world as Jinx is joined by friends, battles enemies, and discovers that life beyond?and even within?the forest is more complex than he can imagine, and that the Urwald itself needs him more than he could ever guess.

It's not every day that your evil stepdad abandons you in the deep, dark forest of the Urwald. And it's not every day that a wizard rescues you from the clutches of gnarly trolls. But for Jinx, this isn't turning out to be a very normal sort of day... The bubbling cauldrons and coloured potions of the wizard's house are a world away from the life Jinx has left behind. Even the walls are soaked in magic, and it's not long before Jinx begins to unlock his own rare powers. But Simon Magus is no ordinary wizard. He seems to need something from Jinx - something dark. And Jinx begins to wonder: can he trust Simon... at all?
