Book description
All this books and stuff, that isn't what it should all be about.
What we need is real wizardry.
There was an eighth son of an eighth son. He was, quite
naturally, a wizard. And there it should have ended. However (for
reasons we'd better not go into), he had seven sons. And then he had
an eighth son... a wizard squared...a source of magic...a Sourcerer.
Unseen University has finally got what it wished for: the most
powerful wizard on the disc. Which, unfortunately, could mean that the
death of all wizardry is at hand. And that the world is going to end,
depending on whom you listen to. Unless of course one inept wizard can
take the University's most precious artefact, the very embodiment of
magic itself, and deliver it halfway across the disc to safety...
