Tam can’t wait to play Ark of the Shadow Moon, the hotly anticipated new game from Clandestine Studios. But when his parents force him to go on a camping trip, he discovers that the mountains wield their own magic, and that while magic offers you everything, it asks everything of you in return.
At just 90 pages, Ensorcelled is a one-sitting read that will suck you in, make you think, and leave you changed.
“A single-serving masterclass in what can happen when you pay attention, drop the distractions, and really look at the world. ”
-Craig Mod, author of Things Become Other Things
“In an era of stories unspooling endlessly, loose and lazy, Ensorcelled is a tonic: tight, bright, spring-loaded. Here is proof that you can spin up a whole universe in 100 pages or less, and proof that a warm, encouraging tale can have teeth-clenching tension at its heart. Here is my favorite Eliot Peper book yet!”
-Robin Sloan, author of Moonbound
“A mango lassi of a story: sweet and satisfying.”
-Kevin Kelly, senior maverick at Wired and author of Excellent Advice for Living
“A paean to the magic of storytelling and the art of being truly present in the world around you—Eliot Peper is a wizard with words.”
-Samuel Arbesman, author of The Magic of Code
“A campfire fable for the digital age.”
-Ozan Varol, author of Awaken Your Genius
