Interim Errantry: On Ordeal (Young Wizards #10.5)

A wizard's Ordeal is intensely personal, and sometimes (though not always) intensely dangerous. Each Ordeal is tailored to the wizard who may pass it, or fail to pass. Each one is in some ways diagnostic of the innermost nature of the wizard who embraces the challenge offered them by the Powers that Be.

On Ordeal tells the unique tales of the wizardly initiations of three notable wizards of the Young Wizards universe -- Roshaun ke Nelaid, Mamvish fsh Wimsih, and Ronan Nolan Jnr -- revealing how they coped with their Ordeals. Watch as a disaffected alien prince, a lizard who wants to become a wizard (by having one for dinner if necessary), and an ironically emo kid from the Dublin suburbs get to grips, up close and personal, with the Powers that Be... and come into the kind of power only those on errantry can dream of.

Among them, these three epic tales of three very different introductions to the world of wizardry comprise a total of 127,000 words of new, canonical Young Wizards material.
