The Book Without Words is a volume of blank parchment pages - or so it might seem. But for a green-eyed reader filled with great desire, it may reveal the dark magic of Northumbria, including the forgotten arts of making gold and achieving immortality. For generations its magic was protected from those who would exploit it . . . then it fell into the hands of a desperate boy.
