Description
The Moment of the Magician continues Alan Dean Foster’s lively blend of fantasy adventure and portal fantasy as Jon-Tom Meriweather answers a desperate call from the far South. In this instalment of the Spellsinger series, the musician-turned-mage is once again pulled into a crisis that threatens an entire city, one ruled by a sinister magician whose power feels unsettlingly familiar. With animals who talk, magic that bends the rules, and danger waiting at every fragile crossroads, this world tests Jon-Tom more fiercely than ever before.
As The Moment of the Magician unfolds, Jon-Tom and the ever-rebellious Mudge set out on a reluctant quest, only to discover that the evil tightening its grip on the land originates from Jon-Tom’s own world. The deeper they go, the clearer it becomes that defeating this threat may cost Jon-Tom the one thing he still longs for: the chance to return home. This third entry in the beloved Spellsinger series pushes the stakes higher and expands Foster’s imaginative universe with wit, warmth, and sharp adventure.
Ideal for readers who enjoy humorous fantasy with real emotional weight, this instalment delivers both escapism and consequence in equal measure.
