Runemarks

Librarian note for this book: An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found here.

An epic tale set in the world of the Norse gods.

They call it a ruinmark...

Maddy Smith - born with a rusty-coloured rune shape on her hand has always been an outsider in her village. For the good folk of Malbry believe a ruinmark to be a symbol of the old gods, a mark of magic.
And that, as everyone knows, is the road to chaos. Dangerous

But Maddy enjoys working magic, even if it is just to control some pesky goblins. And every time he visits, her best friend - a good-for-nowt Outlander known as One-Eye - has been teaching her more and more about the old ways: about gods and glamours, runes and cantrips.

Now One-Eye is back again, and he wants her to open Red Horse Hill and descend into the World Below to retrieve a relic of the old gods.

Otherwise - apparently - it could be the End of Everything. Again...

A fantastic runic romp into the heart of the old Norse tales:
wild, dangerous, richly inventive and superbly imaginative.
