People say, if Charlie Pratt had a penny for every blunder, he'd fill his pockets and then misplace his trousers…
In October the Campton river clears, and the levels drop offering a perfect excuse to get out in the crisp morning air and scour the rocks for snagged hooks and toads. It's about as close as Charlie has come to magic… until he meets the strange but beautiful Dalia Addair.
While trying to learn more about her, he unwittingly slots himself into her magical trial—a trial she's spent her whole life preparing for. He gets a day.
But something's wrong; the trial holds its own secrets, and powerful forces will do whatever it takes to stop them.
The only way to survive is to finish the trials and block the way forever.
But first, Charlie and Dalia have to learn to work together—if they don't strangle each other first.
Quirky, fast-paced, and brimming with humor and charm, Fableman is a young adult fantasy that shows how even the most unlikely hero will step forward to do what it takes—when there's a ten-foot troll screaming after him!
About the Author
Brad Carsten is a fantasy author, from Johannesburg South Africa. He started writing in 2008, after watching Stardust, and wondering if he could create a world that was in any way as immaginative as that. It started out as a challenge, but quickly grew into a passion that he has developed for over a decade.
He is currently working on three series: Riftwalkers, a portal fantasy saga, Fableman, a quirky middle-grade series and The Fateless Throne, an epic fantasy. A graphic designer by trade, Brad creates all his own artwork.
