Le Guin).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA richly imaginative story of wizards stymied by a power beyond their control, \u003ci\u003eA Face in the Frost\u003c\/i\u003e combines the thrills of a horror novel with the inventiveness of fairy tale-inspired fantasy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Prospero, a tall, skinny misfit of a wizard, lives in the South Kingdom—a patchwork of feuding duchies and small manors, all loosely loyal to one figurehead king. Along with his necromancer friend Roger Bacon, who has been on a quest to find a mysterious book, Prospero must flee his home to escape ominous pursuers. Thus begins an adventure that will lead him to a grove where his old rival, Melichus, is falsely rumored to be buried and to a less-than-hospitable inn in the town of Five Dials—and ultimately into a dangerous battle with origins in a magical glass paperweight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With a unique blend of humor and darkness, it remains one of the most beloved tales by the Edgar Award-nominated author also known for the long-running Lewis Barnavelt series.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49380105716016,"sku":"BDd4tz","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49380105748784,"sku":"ZEd4tz","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49380105781552,"sku":"ZMd4tz","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/d4tz-Square-cover.jpg?v=1779225037","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-d4tz","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
