'Unless there's a witch in it, the most dangerous thing in a forest ought to be a wizard. And if it isn't, there ought to be a sign up, warning people about it.' Admus Talincote, wizard. Quick-witted. Reckless. All alone. A forest on a winter's day as night approaches. The wrong fork on the path. A terrible discovery. A howl in the distance, a monster out of legend. And the battle for survival begins… Humour and thrills in a page-turning adventure for in a richly imagined mediaeval fantasy world. A gripping short story from the Talincote Chronicles to curl up with as the nights draw in.
