Sophie Codman (writing as Sophie Wainwright) is from the same stable of young writing talent as Emma Maree Urquhart and Libby Rees - Aultbea Publishing in Inverness, Scotland

She published Wizard - The Novice's Quest when only 16, to widespread critical acclaim.

The author has a rich, descriptive style that paints vivid pictures in the reader's imagination, with neat touches of humour throughout the story. Her writing style contains elements of Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time series) and Terry Pratchett (Discworld series), which make this book an enjoyable read for children, teenagers and adults. There is something there for everyone to enjoy
