Book Description
Aldan arrived at the King's castle expecting to apprentice to the King's Mage. Before he is able to recover from the journey, the castle comes under attack and he is forced into the role of Princess Odessa's protector. Along with two guardsmen, they flee the castle through a secret passage where Aldan is confronted by beings and places he'd only read about. Plagued by Aldan's lack of confidence in his abilities, and his confusion over the budding relationship with the Princess, the companions struggle to reach a neighboring kingdom for help. With every confrontation, however, Aldan's confidence grows, but Odessa is forced to embrace an ancient source of magic that will isolate her forever. Upon reaching their destination, they discover the kingdom is under attack from an ancient evil only they have the power to counter. Will Aldan's confidence and Odessa's rare magic be enough to prevail and guarantee the help they need to return home? So begins the story of "The Queen of Darkness."

Book Description
A diverse new anthology that traces the meaning and magic of the sorcerer’s apprentice tale throughout history “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” might conjure up images of Mickey Mouse from the Disney film Fantasia, or of Harry Potter. As this anthology reveals, however, “sorcerer’s apprentice” tales—in which a young person rebels against, or complies with, an authority who holds the keys to magical powers—have been told through the centuries from classical times to today. This collection brings together more than fifty sorcerer’s apprentice stories by a plethora of writers, including Ovid, Sir Walter Scott, and the Brothers Grimm. In an extensive introduction, fairy-tale scholar Jack Zipes discusses the significance of the apprentice stories, the contradictions in popular retellings, and the importance of magic as a tool of resistance against figures who abuse their authority. Twenty specially commissioned black-and-white illustrations by noted artist Natalie Frank bring the stories to visual life.
