Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Magic. Missing children. A street kid turned king's advisor in a race against time. A YA fantasy bestseller for readers of Megan Whalen Turner and Kristin Cashore.'The Grabber is just a fright tale.'Former street kid Jarka was born with a crooked foot and uses a crutch, but that no longer mat…ters since he's now an apprentice Wysman, training to advise the king. When poor kids start to go missing from the city's streets, Jarka suspects that whatever's causing the disappearances comes from the castle.Now he needs to watch his step or risk losing the position he fought so hard to win. but when someone close to him becomes the latest victim, Jarka knows he's running out of time.His search takes him from diving into ancient history, to standing up to those who want to beat or bleed the magic out of him.Will Jarka succeed in uncovering an evil long-hidden, or will his friends and family vanish into the darkness ----------Set in a kingdom where magic is a tool, tradition runs deep, and politics tangles every loyalty, The Wysman is a hopeful coming of age fantasy with the urgency of a thriller. Jarka's world is one of palace corridors and back alleys, ancient secrets and present day stakes, where a former street kid with a crutch has earned a place few thought him capable of holding and now has to use it to save the children no one else is looking for.Dorothy A. Winsor writes with the quiet, character driven precision that readers of Megan Whalen Turner know to look for. Fans of Kristin Cashore and Cinda Williams Chima will find a familiar pleasure in the worldbuilding, while readers who love Travis Baldree's warmth will recognise the same care for character even as the pages turn faster.The Wysman is Book 2 of Dorothy A. Winsor's Tales of Rinland series but can be read as a complete standalone. A YA fantasy bestseller, it's a thoughtful, page turning read for anyone who wants their fantasy hopeful, their heroes flawed, and their representation woven into the fabric of the story rather than bolted on top.----------'Brimming with danger, magic and intrigue, set in a richly imagined world, with a superb cast of characters.' - Mary Simms, BookCraicContent warnings: Kidnapping.
