Item description from seller

Cover has edgewear and multiple spine creases; pages show tanning but no markings. It's actually in really good condition for a book printed in 1992. It's got the right smell, if you know what I mean.; Condition checked point by point on this copy:; Overall grade: Used - Good; Exterior condition: Heavy edgewear present. Corners show mild bumping. Minor creasing visible along the spine.; Pages: Pages are clean and unmarked. Moderate tanning or age toning to pages.; Storage & odour: Stored in a smoke-free environment.; Completeness: All pages intact. Please review the photos and condition notes for details of this copy. Gunnar, who has kept himself and his family alive using druidic techniques taught by his brother Justen, sends his son Lerris (who is unaware of his father's history and his own magical potential) to Candar to undertake a rite of passage commonly administered to dissatisfied individuals living in Recluce, especially those who have an affinity or ability for either order or chaos. While exiled to Candar, Lerris meets his uncle Justen, and comes to understand his father's ulterior motives for sending him off. Centuries of dominance by Recluce and their order engineers has once again led to increasingly more powerful chaos mages in Candar, with one in particular threatening to cause trouble on the scale of the white council. Gunnar has sent Lerris to Candar with the suspicion that a strong order mage and strong chaos mage will ultimately be drawn into direct conflict, and that Lerris would take care of the problem without Recluce being directly involved. Lerris ultimately defeats the white mage and settles down in Candar to live as a woodworker.

Store description

I am an independent bookseller based in Perth, Western Australia, specialising in quality used and out-of-print books. My focus is on good reading copies and well-kept paperbacks, with a particular soft spot for literary fiction, science fiction and fantasy, crime, and interesting non-fiction that deserves a second life on someone else’s shelf. Every book is individually inspected and described. I use clear, consistent condition notes and detailed photographs so you know exactly what you’re getting before you buy. Edgewear, spine creases, inscriptions, foxing, and any other flaws are clearly noted. If a book has something special – an early printing, a nice cover design, or an interesting previous owner mark – I’ll mention that too. Orders are packed carefully to survive the postal system, using appropriate padding and sturdy packaging. Whenever possible, I reuse clean packing materials to reduce waste without compromising protection. Customer service is straightforward: if you have a question about a specific book, feel free to contact me before purchasing. I aim to ship promptly and resolve any issues fairly. Thank you for supporting a small, independent bookseller and helping keep good books in circulation.…
