<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The tale of <i>Magic Casement</i> begins gently, even slowly, with Inosolan enjoying an idyllic childhood in a tiny backwater kingdom, too carefree and innocent even to understand that the feelings she shares with her friend Rap are more than friendship. Mystery, menace, and the gods appear in short order, and from then on the story grows in scope and power to straddle the world, and adversity thrusts rapid maturity on Rap and Inos. Populated by unforgettable characters--Aunt Kade, Little Chicken, Doctor Sagorn, and many more--Pandemia is an incredible world of credible people and infinite surprises. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The Man of His Word series debut--a novel "with enough fresh ideas to allow it to sit unashamedly alongside the great fantasy books of recent times" (Fantasy Book Review).</b> <p/> "Duncan's unique concept of goblins, fauns, and imps adds a new twist to this imaginative fantasy adventure" as Princess Inosolan is forced to leave behind her carefree childhood--as well as her dear friend, the stableboy Rap (<i>Library Journal</i>). Now of marriageable age, she is sent to a finishing school to hone the skills that all noble ladies should possess. Mystery, menace, and the gods appear in short order, as Inos and Rap begin to discover their magical powers, even as Inos is courted by a charming man with motives far more dangerous than the eye--and heart--can see . . . <p/> "<i>Magic Casement</i> has a charm and vibrant sense of humor. . . . If it's traditional fantasy adventure with a bit of nudge-nudge wink-wink you're after, Dave Duncan is your go-to guy." --SFReviews.net<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Magic Casement</i> has a charm and vibrant sense of humor. . . .
