The Magicians of Caprona
Set in the magic-controlled alternative world used in some of the author's earlier novels, this tells of two rival families of spell-makers whose enmity is used by an evil enchantress to undermine the defenses of Caprona, a small but previously unconquerable Dukedom. Her last-minute defeat, of course, comes from an alliance of the younger, apparently untalented magicians. It's long and multicharactered --- the barrage of names will deter some --- but it's also stylish and well --- crafted Bright fantasy fans of 10---13 could well enjoy it once they're past the slow start.
