S.J. Magill

Frank Nowak, a manure farmer’s son, is overjoyed to be told he has a supernatural ability. For him it means an escape from his life of poverty and anonymity. However, Frank’s joy is short lived when he discovers that his ‘gift’ is that he can turn into a small, white chicken.
Following the tiniest of mix-ups, Frank is forced to assist Thorn - a young, but talented, wizardess - in her quest for revenge against the sorcerer who killed her mentor.
The pair are assisted by an unlikely trio of allies: a dragon-slaying multi millionaire, a professional thief, and a shadowy assassin.
Frank and his companions are unaware that their enemy has unearthed an ancient and deadly power. Their collective abilities will be tested to the limits - and it may be that Frank's lowly talent provides the key to their survival.
