Stonefather Author:Orson Scott Card A fantasy novella by the best-selling author of Ender's Game. — In this novella-length precursor to Card's forthcoming fantasy saga Mithermages, a young man leaves his home town for the big, mage-ridden city and learns that he has powers. Unfortunately, he hasn't learned how to wield them, a good many people want to exploit his ignorance... more », and his strong ethical standards make him cautious about risking harm to anybody. Absorbing tales have sprung from such plot and character mainsprings for millennia, including much modern fantasy, from Lord of the Rings to Harry Potter, and not excluding Card's own magisterial Hatrack River saga. Judging from Stonefather, it seems we're about to receive another American fantasy classic from Card.« less
