Tibbs might only be a young boy, but he knows right from wrong. So when he sees Sylas, the foreign lord from a nearby castle, bullying another boy from the village, Tibbs vows to make Sylas pay one way or another.
Soon Sylas and Tibbs are locked in a prank war that, though small, threatens the uneasy peace between their two kingdoms. But when Nathan, a powerful wizard, starts a school in the village to prepare kids from both kingdoms for a potential magic war with the Continent, Sylas and Tibbs are forced to spend time together.
Soon Tibbs grows jealous of Sylas's magic abilities, and his envy and hatred of the other boy grows. When danger looms for both of them, will they be able to put aside their differences and survive?
A lighthearted fantasy about finding a friend in your enemy, The Histories of Sennacherib MacCauley: The Raven's House will charm fans of Tolkien, Lewis, and Rowling, while introducing young readers to a magical new world.
About the Author: Sennacherib MacCauley is a retired monk living in the hills of Michigan. He spent fifteen hundred years gathering information for his history books and served as a teacher in universities and private schools all over Europe and the eastern United States after the year 1825.
Sennacherib is especially interested in the loss of magic in the year 1074 and in the great war during the vacuum left by the death of Emperor Charlemagne in 817. Historians mistakenly recorded Charlemagne's death as occurring in 814, but the kidnapping and dynastic struggles in the wake of his disappearance were concealed by his family and government, with the truth known only to a few witnesses-including Sennacherib MacCauley.
Many have tried to find the author behind Sennacherib, but the paper trail was lost in the rain.
