What is Thorn Castle About?
This story takes place in a village called Meadowhythe. In Meadowhythe, almost everyone can do some kind of magic. But there's one person who can't: a boy named Tamly. Tamly really wants to learn magic and often wonders why he's different.
Tamly's Big Adventure
Even though Tamly can't do magic, his lack of magical ability turns out to be very important. It makes him the perfect person for a super dangerous mission! He needs to rescue a powerful item called the Book of Spells. This book has been stolen by a really bad sorcerer named Lord Harshax.
Tamly doesn't go alone. He teams up with his friend Kym, who is very good at magic. Together, they set off on a brave journey. Their goal is to sneak into Lord Harshax's lair, steal back the Book of Spells, and save their village from the evil sorcerer's power. It's a race against time to protect Meadowhythe!
