Mistification / Kaaron Warren

“Like walking from a dream into a mythical land both familiar and delightfully strange.
A tale of tolerance and survival, in a fascinating and beautifully realised world.”
– Trudi Canavan, author of the Black Magician Trilogy (describing Walking the Tree)

“Kaaron Warren is a fresh, amazingly talented voice out of Australia.
You must read her work.”
– Ellen Datlow

Marvo is a stage magician. His magic is real.

Marvo grows up without knowing his parents, without knowing his heritage, without knowing much about life.

The magicians have always been with us, since the beginning of civilisation. They fill our heads with the mist, keeping us from witnessing the stark reality of existence. But are things so bad that Marvo will bring it down on all of us, forever?

Marvo begins to understand those around him, and his place in the world; he discovers that his remarkable powers can be put to good, or to evil.

He only has to choose…
