Spellfall - Earthaven, #1 - E-book - ePub

Natalie thinks she is an ordinary girl until she sees a spell in the supermarket car park. She soon discovers her mother came from Earthaven, a place of breathtaking wonder where unicorns roam and giant trees talk. Her father is a Thrall who sells spells across the boundary between worlds. And Natalie has inherited powers the exiled spellmage Lord Hawk needs, if he is to take his revenge on the Spell Lords who banished him.
Snatched from her family and forced to choose sides in a magical battle between two worlds, Natalie's only hope is to join forces with her captor's son, the inept spell-caster Merlin. Can they discover Hawk's evil plans in time to save Earthaven and its magic?"Roberts knows exactly how to rack up the tension and create parallel universes." The Guardian."A thrilling and fast-paced fantasy adventure with shades of Tolkien and Pullman." The Bookseller.
First published in 2001, Spellfall was longlisted for the Carnegie Medal and voted "the book most likely to fill the Harry Potter void" by American independent booksellers in the same year. A sequel - Spell Spring - is now available.
