Synopsis ~

Write-up from back of paperback ~

In the centuries since the coming of the Three Lordly Ones, all manner of folk have gathered at Ithkar Fair to pay tribute and sell their wares. There, fortunes and dreams a realized – and sometimes destroyed. There, great loves and deadly hatreds ignite. And there, where dark magic is forbidden and deceitful magic punished, magic pervades the very air; A mysterious egg holds the key to an ailing boy’s health – and an evil wizard’s revenge…a lucky demon and a bushel of silver apples almost ruin an eager fruit merchant…A strange cloak with sea-blue eyes sets a comely young woman on the path to her dreams… A rogue shape-changing hyn created havoc for its “master” …A breathtaking witch and a eerie carving inspires a young man’s first passion…Dwarf artisans discover the beauty of the world-and of themselves…and the greatest magic of all lies in the tales and the taletellers if Ithkar Fair.
