![]() ![]() And when, at length, Elda ropes in her brothers Kit and Blade to send Corkoran to the at the Wizards' University spins magically and magnificently out of control. Wizard Corkoran's money-making scheme backfires, and when Elda and her new friends start working magic on their own, the schemes go wronger still. But Wizard Corkoran is dismayed to discover that one of those students - indeed, one he had such high hopes for, Wizard Derk's own daughter Elda - is a hugh golden griffin, and that none of the others has any money at all. Although Wizard Corkoran's obsession is to be the first man on the moon, and most of his time is devoted to this project, he decides he will teach the new first years himself in hopes of currying the favor of the new students' families - for surely they must all come from wealth, important families - and obtaining money for the University (which it so desperately needs). High Chancellor Querida has retired, leaving Wizard Corkoran in charge of the Wizards' University. It is eight years after the tours from offworld have stopped. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the Forest of Forgetting: Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon DE | Amazon AU | Nook | iBooks | Kobo | Google Play | Scribd Songs for Ophelia: Bookshop | Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon DE | Barnes & Noble | Indiebound In the Forest of Forgetting: Bookshop | Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon DE | Barnes & Noble | Indiebound (And at the moment all e-book editions are on sale for $1.99, as are most other Mythic Delirium Books offerings more on that below.)
