Nick's Review

This book has been enjoyed by both of my children and just quietly I also found it thoroughly engaging. The fantastical world includes snow cats, sprites, and giants that ponder the vastness of the ever expanding universe, among other characters. The vivid descriptions and well-crafted world bring this story to life.

Recommended for ages 8-14, The Wizards of Once is a must-read for children who enjoy fantasy adventures. Despite being recommended for older readers, even my 5-year-old daughter has been captivated by it.

Publishers Review

This is the story of a young boy Wizard and a young girl Warrior who have been taught since birth to hate each other like poison; and the thrilling tale of what happens when their two worlds collide.

Once there was Magic, and the Magic lived in the dark forests. Until the Warriors came...
Xar is a Wizard boy who has no Magic, and will do anything to get it. Wish is a Warrior girl, but she owns a banned Magical Object, and she will do anything to conceal it. In this whirlwind adventure, Xar and Wish must forget their differences if they're going to make it to the dungeons at Warrior Fort.

Where something that has been sleeping for hundreds of years is stirring...
