A spellbinding tale. With this short story, Michael Radcliffe is introducing the world of the Guardian's Apprentice, his fantasy novel. I haven't read the book yet, but this story has definitely given me an idea of what to expect from the novel. If you want to discover more about the world Radcliffe has created in his book, I would highly recommend you read this story. 
If you like books about witches, wizards, magic, curses etc., you will love this story. It kept me interested and I loved the little twists contained within it. 
Nisha wants to save her father, a powerful Wizard who is dying. Will she be able to find the stone that will cure him, and at what cost?
