The Enchanted Knot — Eric Nylund

Hi. My name is Konrad Scalagari. I've written this book just for you. I know, this is supposed to be a blurb telling you about the book. The thing is, while you're reading this, everyone else is reading a description of a science-fiction adventure with super soldiers, guts and glory, and spaceship battles. It's just part of the magic to cover my tracks while I explain this to you. I know you don't understand yet…  but you're a member of the Scalagari family, too. Who are the Scalagaris? Good question.  The Scalagaris are one of many highly secretive magical families in the world. We specialize in using knots to bind enchantments. Oh, and we're criminals -- sort of. Think of us as part Robin Hood and part magical mafia. Capisce? The Enchanted Knot is the story of how I figured this out, and went from clueless teenager living in a trailer park to being rich and infamous (and landing on INTERPOL's most wanted list). Read this. Right now! You'll need to know these things when we come looking for you.
