{"product_id":"herbmaster-of-tarodash-book-colin-hollis-9781783061396","title":"Herbmaster of Tarodash","description":"Tarodash is under attack from an ancient enemy. A land of gentle folk, unused to conflict, it is ill-equipped to face an invasion.    Perad, a young herbmaster, is called upon to save his village, using craftsmanship enhanced by a magic which resides in the rock strata of the land. A raiding party is defeated, but the invaders will return, and may even be seeking revenge. The village must flee. As the enemy close in, Perad faces further tests, until, in a final confrontation, he will need to wield his craft on a vastly different scale.    Herbmaster of Tarodash is a traditional fantasy adventure, with the narrative cadences of a thriller. Written with lyricism and sensitivity, a plot of strength and clarity, and deep attention to the integrity of its world and people, it is a book for those who cherish fantasy interwoven with powerful elements of courage, loyalty, sacrifice and love.    Set to appeal to readers of Ursula le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea. Colin Hollis's Herbmaster of Tarodash carefully blends fantasy with the pacing of a thriller to create a gripping first novel.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49585680056593,"sku":"GOR005564616","price":13.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1783061391.jpg?v=1751423732","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/herbmaster-of-tarodash-book-colin-hollis-9781783061396","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
