Runemarks
of Joanne Harris (Goodreads Author)
Series: Runemarks #1
Description
Master storyteller Joanne Harris has created a magical and epic rompâ a fresh, funny, and wonderfully irreverent new take on the old Norse tales, sure to be enjoyed by readers young and old.Seven oâclock on a Monday morning, five hundred years after the end of the world, and goblins had been at the cellar again. . . . Not that anyone would admit it was goblins. In Maddy Smithâs world, order rules. Chaos, old gods, fairies, goblins, magic, glamours â all of these were supposedly vanquished centuries ago. But Maddy knows that a small bit of magic has survived. The âruinmarkâ she was born with on her palm proves it â and makes the other villagers fearful that she is a witch (though helpful in dealing with the goblins-in-the-cellar problem). But the mysterious traveler One-Eye sees Maddyâs mark not as a defect, but as a destiny. And Maddy will need every scrap of forbidden magic One-Eye can teach her if she is to survive that destiny.
