Produktbeschreibung
As Halloween draws near, Qwyrk and company are abruptly reminded of just how screwed-up everything can get. Qwyrk and Holly are literally being driven apart by magical forces they don't understand, and their friends are in disarray. Then Holly goes missing and Qwyrk loses something else that's almost as important, while the behind-the-scenes scheming comes to the fore at last. And who is the mysterious, ancient figure in red that seems to know all and see all, but annoyingly, won't talk about it? Traitors abound, old friends return, sides will be picked, and the final battle between good and evil will rage. To stop the actual end of the world from happening, Qwyrk might have to make a decision that will change her life forever. Faytte is the final book in a series of four novels about the comic misadventures of a group of misfits at the edge of normal reality in modern northern England, a world of shadows, Nighttime Nasties in a bakery, a mysterious key, every horrid monster you can imagine, an abundance of sarcasm, and the answers to all the questions. Oh, and Qwyrk is going to definitively prove that she's not an elf. They're just silly! Described as a "literary raconteur" and a "virtuoso," Tim Rayborn denies everything, but it's true that he's a versatile writer and an acclaimed musician. He's written dozens of books, appeared on more than forty recordings, plays many musical instruments, and has visited five continents. Faytte is his fourth novel.
Autorenporträt
Tim Rayborn has written a rather ridiculous number of books over the past several years (about fifty). He lived in England for quite some time and has a PhD from the University of Leeds, which he likes to pretend means that he knows what he's talking about. His generous output of written material covers such diverse topics as music, the arts, history, the strange and bizarre, fantasy and sci-fi , and general knowledge. He's already planning on writing more books, whether anyone wants him to or not. He's also an internationally acclaimed musician. He plays dozens of unusual instruments that quite a few people have never heard of and often can't pronounce, including medieval instrument reconstructions and folk instruments from Northern Europe, the Balkans, and the Middle East. He has appeared on over forty recordings, and his musical wanderings and tours have taken him across the US, all over Europe, to Canada and Australia, and to such romantic locations as Marrakech, Istanbul, Renaissance chateaux, medieval Italian hill towns, and high school gymnasiums. He currently lives in Washington State, surrounded by many books and instruments, as well as with a sometimes-demanding cat.
