Orphan Stefan has nowhere to run, so he decides to become an apprentice of the dark mage Diter. Now Stefan studies magic, learns a lot about himself and the world around him, and tries to build relationships with people—and with the mill. The mill is the home of the sorcerer and his main helper; it is his protection and weapon.
But the mill also demands blood and betrayal—something Stefan doesn’t know yet.
This dark and beautiful fairy tale will appeal to fans of psychological fantasy, coming-of-age novels, and complex moral dilemmas.
