Seventh Son Audiobook (Free)

Using the lore as well as the folk magic of the men and women who settled a continent, as well as the beliefs from the tribes who were here before them, Cards has created another frontier America; a global where a particular sort of magic does work and where that magic offers colored the entire background of the colonies. Charms and beseechings, hexes and potions, all possess a place in the lives of the people of this globe. “Knacks” abound: dowsers discover water, sparks arranged fires, blacksmiths speak to their iron, about Seventh Boy the second view warns of dangers to arrive, and a torch can read the heart-fire of anyone at your fingertips. It really is into this world, within a roadhouse within the track westward, amid the deep real wood where the Red man still holds sway, a extremely special child exists.

Young Alvin is the seventh son of a seventh son, born while his 6 brothers all still lived. Such a delivery is a robust magic; such a young man is destined to be something great-perhaps a good Manufacturer. But no Manufacturer has been blessed for many a century, and there is no lore to tell how the Maker’s knack works. At age six Alvin doesn’t appear to possess any special skill whatsoever, unless it is the knack he provides of dealing with stone and hardwood, crafting equipment and ornaments; unless it’s his ability to color a hex perfectly; unless it’s the way he has with animals…

Yes, Alvin is something special; and even in the loving security of his home, dark forces get in touch with destroy him. Something can do anything to keep Alvin from developing up.
