When the king declares magic and magic users illegal and the penalty for being a person of magic is execution, the mysterious Uncle Romke gathers all his talented nieces and nephews in an attempt to escape the king’s decree.
Hunted by the king’s men, the oddly matched collection of talented younglings scramble to reach safety while they deal with accepting each other.
Dark Thunder is one of those books that will grab you from the opening pages and carry you through to the end without wanting to set the book down.
