The Magic Lands

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When two teenage boys, Tom Lewis and Jack Barton, climb the gigantic oak at the bottom of Tom's garden they embark on a journey that takes them toward adulthood, a change embracing both enlightenment and loss. Finding themselves in a dangerous, alien realm, where dreams and reality seem to interweave and deception is at the heart of everything, they come under the malevolent influence of a creature known as the White Wolf. What had began as a childish adventure is in fact something far darker and deeper, for the Wolf is playing a momentous game, an arcane puzzle that must be resolved. The boys walk a dark road of treachery and pain, love and lust, sacrifice and redemption. Friendship and loyalty are put to the test and corruption comes in many guises. Finally, truth can only be revealed through pain and forfeit. It is a journey into the heart of darkness where nothing and no-one are what they seem and the rules are the logic of a dream.

I enjoyed this book, although it becomes dark and harrowing at times. Even so, the characters are interesting and sympathetic and the themes of good vs evil, honour, scarifice and loyalty are powerful and thought provoking. Ultimately, the story concludes with a bittersweet finale with a strong message of hope and redemption.
