Nick Mallory's world is much more familiar – at least, it starts off being our own. Presiding over all, the most important person is the Merlin, who is entrusted with the magical health of the Isles of Blest. Not unlike Britain in King Arthur's Day, Roddy is daughter of two Court Wizards and therefore part of the King's Progress, travelling round the Islands of Blest and ready to take part in whatever ritual or ceremony is required, as it occurs. The story is narrated by two very different teenagers, who each inhabit two extraordinarily different worlds.Īrianrhod Hyde's world (or Roddy, as she prefers to be called) is very much the world of magic, pageantry and ritual.
The companion novel to the novel Deep Secret. A bestselling fantasy adventure from Diana Wynne Jones.
