Synopsis

On the evening before he is knighted, young Will Odosson is told his wyrd-his fate: He will not inherit his father’s barony; he will meet Death before the year is out. “Strong main characters and a smoothly written plot make this a hard book to put down. Like many fantasies this one is full of magic which keeps the characters and plot moving.”-VOYA

About this title

From the Author

Award-Winning Fantasy Novel
Knight's Wyrd won the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children's Literature in 1992 (the year of its first hardback release), and was placed on the prestigious New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age list in 1993.

Here's what some of the critics have said about Knight's Wyrd:

"Suspenseful ... Fast-paced and action-packed, the book is filled with surprising encounters, as well as life and death struggles ... Terrors and grisly demises are graphically described, making this not a book for the squeamish."
—School Library Journal

"An unusual fantasy, matter-of-factly combining a realistic story of knighthood with magic ... The ending leaves the reader with the hope that further adventures ... will be forthcoming. A prepossessing, sensible hero and a lively story."
—The Horn Book Magazine

After being out only one month in paperback, Knight's Wyrd has gone back to press with its original print-run

Synopsis

Will Odosson sets out on a series of dangerous adventures after a wizard predicts that he will meet his death before a year has passed.
