Le Guin).A richly imaginative story of wizards stymied by a power beyond their control, A Face in the Frost combines the thrills of a horror novel with the inventiveness of fairy tale-inspired fantasy.Prospero, a tall, skinny misfit of a wizard, lives in the South Kingdom-a patchwork of feuding duchies and small manors, all loosely loyal to one figurehead king. Along with his necromancer friend Roger Bacon, who has been on a quest to find a mysterious book, Prospero must flee his home to escape ominous pursuers. Thus begins an adventure that will lead him to a grove where his old rival, Melichus, is falsely rumored to be buried and to a less-than-hospitable inn in the town of Five Dials-and ultimately into a dangerous battle with origins in a magical glass paperweight.Lin Carter called The Face in the Frost one of the best fantasy novels to appear since The Lord of the Rings . . . Absolutely first class. With a unique blend of humor and darkness, it remains one of the most beloved tales by the Edgar Award-nominated author also known for the long-running Lewis Barnavelt series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52157507961120,"sku":"NEW1497642418","price":12.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61EtOKSQUyL.jpg?v=1786045392","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-face-in-the-frost-1497642418","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
