Little Gatsby
Angelo Mozzillo
The wizard errant. The Varanasi sorceres – vol. 2
Adventure
Magic exists. It’s highly secret yet it’s right before our eyes. We just have to be brave enough to see it.
Magic is hidden among us, with wizards disguised in unsuspecting forms. Every four years, eighteen magic schools compete to crown the King of the World. The Roving Wizards, without a school or master, are talented but an ancient prophecy warns: if one of them becomes King, a catastrophe will strike the magical world.
In the second book (The Varanasi sorceres), Calaba, Floyd, Spenser and their instructor Jack Cade travel six thousand kilometers from Bardonecchia to Varanasi, where the tournament’s next challenge will take place. As the Errant team face their opponents in the jungle on the banks of the Ganges, disturbing news arrives from the world of magic. It looks like the warning of a wise sorceress is true: Watch out for your friends, Jack Cade, because this is a tournament like no other… Magic as it has never been told before. The greatest mysteries and the strongest talents are on the streets.
- Each book offers an intense adventure filled with twists, discoveries, victories, and defeats.
- A new, fantastical world just a step away from our own: a unique journey to discover what makes each of us special.
