About
In this riff on Arthurian legend, a wizardess who is still mastering her powers goes on an epic quest to save her brother from an evil wizard in this “sweet and fun” middle grade adventure that’s “sizzling with magic” (Adam Rex, New York Times bestselling author) and is perfect for fans of Adam Gidwitz and Amanda Foody!
The great wizard Merlyn prophesied that his seventh descendant would do great things—which baffled everyone when his descendant turned out to be twins. Soon enough, however, it became clear which sibling was the Septimum Genus: Percy is a natural with magic. Merlynda, to put it simply, is not.
The great wizard Merlyn prophesied that his seventh descendant would do great things—which baffled everyone when his descendant turned out to be twins. Soon enough, however, it became clear which sibling was the Septimum Genus: Percy is a natural with magic. Merlynda, to put it simply, is not.
Merlynda doesn't mind, though. Percy has always been by her side to cheer her up (and clean up) after her magical bungles. But when the twins attempt a forbidden spell to help her control her magic, Percy is sucked through a portal—straight into the clutches of the magic-stealing, mythical Hollower.
Aided by her best friend (who longs to be a knight), a wandering musician (who is fleeing form his past). and her brand-new familiar (who yearns for a taste of funnel cake), Merlynda sets off on a quest to rescue her brother. but to defeat this ancient evil, she must discover and embrace her true powers—or else lose her brother for good.
