Book one: Seventh Son



Seventh Son depicts an alternative history of XIX century America, in a world where magic is com mon. It is the first volume of  The Alvin Maker  series, first published in 1987. It won a Locus Award and was nominated for Hugo Award and World Fantasy Award a year after it was released.

 In the reality created by Orson Scott Card, it is believed that a seventh son of a seventh son will possess powerful abilities. The first one was said to turn water into wine and perform miracles. Now the second Maker is being born, and the Unmaker – the force of chaos and ultimate destruction – is doing everything to stop him from learning his full powers.

 Young Alvin Miller is the only one that can prevent the forces of chaos from ruling the world, but first he has to realise that with great power comes great responsibility.
