Sage Blackwood
In the Urwald, you donâ€™t step off the path. Trolls, werewolves, and butter-churn riding witches lurk amid the clawing branches, eager to swoop up the unwary. Jinx has always feared leaving the pathâ€”then he meets the wizard Simon Magus. ,Jinx knows that wizards are evil. But Simonâ€™s kitchen is cozy, and he seems cranky rather than wicked. Staying with him appears to be Jinxâ€™s safest, and perhaps only, option. As Jinxâ€™s curiosity about magic grows, he learns to listen to the trees as closely as he does to Simonâ€™s unusual visitors. The more Jinx discovers, the more determined he becomes to explore beyond the security of well-trod paths. But in the Urwald, a little healthy fear is never out of place, for magicâ€”and magiciansâ€”can be as dangerous as the forest, and soon Jinx must decide which is the greater threat. ,Sage Blackwood introduces a daring new hero for an innovative new world as Jinx is joined by friends, battles enemies, and discovers life beyondâ€”and even withinâ€”the forest is more complex than he can imagine, and that the Urwald itself needs him more than he could ever guess.
