What to expect
The moment ten-year-old Ivan stumbled upon the clearing in the Carpathian forest, his life was forever changed. Atop a pedestal encircled by fallen leaves, a beautiful princess lay still as death, but a malevolent presence nearby sent Ivan scrambling for safety.
Years later, Ivan is an American graduate student, engaged to be married. Yet he cannot forget that long-ago day in the forest nor convince himself it was merely a frightened boy’s fantasy. Compelled to return to his native land, Ivan finds the clearing just as he left it. This time he does not run. This time he awakens the beauty with a kiss—and steps into a world that vanished a thousand years ago.
A rich tapestry of clashing worlds, Enchantment is an original novel of a love and destiny that transcends centuries and the dark force that stalks them across the ages.
Critics Review
“[A] masterpiece of the fantastic…this is a novel to savor…delicious.”
“[Card’s] new look at a classic tale is clever…adding attractive whimsical twists and cultural confluences to a familiar story.”
“Mixing magic and modernity, the acclaimed Orson Scott Card (Ender’s Game) has woven threads of history, religion, and myth together into a convincing, time-hopping tale that is part love story, part adventure.”
“Richly detailed and engagingly peopled: a fascinating remake.”
“The youthful protagonists, the elements of fantasy and romance, and Card’s imaginative, humorous storytelling make this a winner for young adults.”
