Not every ugly duckling becomes a swan ...In the wake of the
disastrous attack on the Golden City, Lady Light Spinner has become
Grand Sorceress and Elaine, the Bookworm, has been settling into
her positions as Head Librarian and Privy Councillor. But any hope
of vanishing into her books is negated when a new magician of
staggering power appears, one whose abilities seem to defy the
known laws of magic. Johan is a Powerless, a person born to a
magical family yet lacking powers of his own. His dreams of a
better life are curbed by his family, who see him as a cripple at
best and a burden at worst. But when a political protest goes
horrifically wrong, Johan discovers that his true powers have
merely been buried, waiting for their chance to explode into the
world. As he comes to grips with his newfound talents, he realises
that he finally has a chance to realise his ambitions. But for the
Golden City, reeling after the devastation of six months before, he
may be the greatest threat the city has ever seen. Elaine must
unlock the mystery behind his powers, before the political factions
can kill him ...or use him to unleash a nightmare. Returning to
well-loved characters and introducing new ones, Bookworm II: The
Very Ugly Duckling explores power - and the effect it has on the
human mind.
