1 McKillip, Patricia A.: Od Magic Softcover, Ace Books, New York, NY, 2006 0441013341 / 978-0441013340 Very Good+, 1 x 8 x 5.3 Inches; 320 pages; Tall softcover, very slight edge wear. "World Fantasy Award–winner McKillip (Alphabet of Thorn) demonstrates once again her exquisite grasp of the fantasist's craft in this slender stand-alone novel. Generations ago, the seemingly immortal wizard Od saved the city of Numis from destruction, not out of altruism but because it seemed like a nice place to found a school of magic. Over the years, the practice of magic has come more and more under the king's control. Deciding to stir things up, Od recruits Brenden Vetch, a gardener from the northlands with tremendous raw power and no taste for politics. As Brenden arrives in Numis, so does a fabulous street magician, Tyramin, whose sleight-of-hand looks suspiciously like unauthorized wizardry." Price: 3.00 USD Add to Shopping Cart
