He also meets its guardian, the self-proclaimed Evil Wizard Smallbone, who calls Nick his apprentice and won't let him leave, but won't teach him magic, either. It's a good thing the bookstore takes Nick's magical education in hand, because Smallbone's nemesis -- the Evil Wizard Fidelou -- and his pack of shape-shifting bikers are howling at the borders. Smallbone might call himself evil, but compared to Fidelou, he's practically a puppy. And he can't handle Fidelou alone.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49789925851409,"sku":"CIN1536203653G","price":2.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50507214553361,"sku":"CIN1536203653VG","price":2.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1536203653.jpg?v=1785915647","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/evil-wizard-smallbone-book-delia-sherman-9781536203653","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
