For many years, Valhan‟s supporters, led by a man named Dall, have sought the child and kept the vessel
containing Valhan‟s mind safe. Tyen has helped them. They find him with a family of Travellers, who named
him Hanari, and kidnap him. Hanari, now a teenager, is unaware of his true identity and potential, and is
astonished to find himself among people who worship him. It is clear to Tyen that Hanari is a new person. If
they give Hanari Valhan‟s memories will it destroy him. . Dall takes Hanari through the worlds, showing him the
great things Valhan did. He tells Hanari that he will learn everything there is to know about magic – and
everything else – in an instant. He asks Hanari: doesn‟t he want to know who he really is? Hanari agrees. The
worlds are in chaos, without Valhan‟s controlling influence. Some want Rielle to take charge, others want to
kill her. Rielle discovers she is the true successor to Valhan, but she should not try to rule the worlds or she will
end up as he did. Trudi Canavan is a Sunday Times best-selling author and over 1 million English language

MAKER’S MAGIC (The Millennium’s Rule Trilogy Book One) by Trudi Canavan
Fantasy |512pp | Orbit | May 2014
Tyen, a young student sorcerer-archaeologist, finds a sentient book while tomb-raiding. The book was made
from the skin, bones and hair of a sorcerer-bookbinder, Vella, thousands of years before. She is now trapped
within the book, only conscious when someone holds her. Tyen wants to help Vella and so steals the book
and flees. However they are pursued by a sorcerer who pushes Tyen and Vella into another world. In Rielle‟s
world, war has already depleted it of magic and humanity has slipped into a dark age. Anybody with
magical ability who is not in the church is regarded with suspicion and fear. She is put through a painful
cleansing ritual, and then sent away to a place where women with magical ability live in isolation. She is
horrified to learn that the priests are using the women to breed more magically-talented priests. But before
the end of the journey she is rescued by a group of priests secretly working against this policy. They arrange
for her to travel far away, to another land, where she will start a new life and identity as a temple painter.
