"The youngest of the princes of Ark much preferred the wizard Ferragamo's tales of magic and heroism to the sword-play and soldiery favoured by his brothers. But the time came when Mark found himself caught up in a terrifying adventure of his own, when even his dreams held secrets he would rather not know. Struggling against the awesome malevolence that had destroyed his family, he fought a desperate battle to preserve not only his own heritage, but also the fates of those who were to come." 2. The Centre of the Circle - 351 pp, 1988 reprint, ISBN 0552131342. "Luke was an extraordinary young man. King's son, child of magic, heir to a destiny prepared for him centuries ago, he had always been thought unusual - even by his mentor the wizard Ferragamo. Sheltered and protected by his family, he had been free to follow his own nature. But when the ancient evil that has almost overcome his father many years ago threatened Ark once more, reaching out in a massive network of foul and vicious magic, Luke must put himself to work. Aided only by a stranger - a bizarre young girl whose nature he already seemed to know - he was forced to challenge the armies of darkness, and confront the awesome heritage that had long awaited him." 3. The Mage-Born Child - 350 pp, 1988 first printing, ISBN 055213161X. "In the years since the wizards' disastrous conclave, the people of the islands had lived in an uneasy peace. During that time, Yve had been content merely to watch and to learn. There was so much of the world - and of magic - that she did not yet understand. When Ferragamo and the Servants were faced with the awful choice - domination by Brogar's foul sorcerer, or the possibility of their world ending, they knew what had to be done. But they could not do it alone. So now it was Yve's turn. With her world crumbling, she must face her destiny, must help the Servants as they desperately try to vanquish for ever the evil that has overturned their lives. At last, Yve must follow the path laid down countless years before, and try to guide her world back to a safe haven." Interiors - lighttoning to the pages, otherwise clean and tight.
