Thornlost
The third book in Melanie Rawn’s superb new high fantasy series, that blends the worlds of magic, theater, art and politics!
Melanie Rawn returns to her rich high fantasy world in this sequel to Touchstone and Elsewhens.
Cayden is part Elf, part Fae, part human Wizard — and all rebel. His
aristocratic mother would have him follow his father to the Royal Court, to make a high-society living off the scraps of kings. But Cade lives
and breathes for the theater, and he’s good, very good. He’s a
tregetour — a wizard who is both playwright and magicwielder. It is Cade’s power that creates the magic, but a tregetour is useless without a
glisker — an elf who can spin out the magic onto the stage, to enchant the audience. And Cade’s glisker, Mieka, is something special too. So is
their fettler, Rafe, who controls the magic and keeps them and the
audience safe. And their masker, Jeska, who speaks all the lines, is
every young girl’s dream.
They are reaching for the highest
reaches of society and power, but not the way Cade’s mother thinks they
should. They’ll change their world, or die trying.
