But The Cornerstone doesn't lie and the danger is very real.In a world threatened by monsters, where books are worshipped and powerful magic exists, Max Bloom must make a choice: close The Cornerstone and run home - or trust Merelie, become a Wordsmith, and save two worlds from certain destruction***Reviews for Nick Spalding & Max Bloom In The Cornerstone:'Spalding made headlines last year when revealed he was one of their best selling authors, selling over 400,000 copies on Kindle.

Gingerlily (SteamTink) said I never did like purple anyway. After reading and enjoying both Nick's non-fiction books (Life With No Breaks and Life On A High) I was excited to see that he had come up with a fiction offering. I bought it as soon as he announced it, and I have just finished it with a large sigh of satisfaction.Its a fantasy book, so there was a good chance that I would like it. On the other hand, there are a lot of mediocre
