Tales of the Nameless World, Volume Two — Christopher G. Nuttall

Five Schooled in Magic novellas, published together for the first time … The Nameless World is a place of magic and mystery, of kings and princes and magicians and merchants and rebels, fighting for supremacy or power or even just to carve out a place for themselves in a world of wonders and terrors, a world forever changed by a traveller from our world … Meet a young man on a desperate quest to avenge his lost lover, only to be dragged into a crisis beyond his imagination that threatens the hard-won peace of his world. Meet a young man without magic, who wishes to be a magician and finds a way to give magic to everyone; meet a young woman who wishes to start a school newspaper, to learn – too late – that muckraking and rumour-mongering comes with a very high price. Travel with a young magician going home again, to a village she outgrew long ago, and find out what really happened when Lady Barb first met Void, over a decade before Emily's arrival in the Nameless World. Learn the wonder of magic, and the price of mastery … (NOTE: The Cunning Man's Tale, The Muckraker's Tale, and Frieda's Tale have all been previously published; Cat's Tale and Lady Barb's Tale are exclusive to this volume.)
