The Books of Magic: The Names of Magic

Timothy Hunter has faced down many challenges since discovering he is destined to be the greatest magician known to the world, but they mean nothing if he cannot discover his true name. Who he thought was his father turned out not to be and his mother died when he was six and was too young to ask her. There are at least two tales of his true birth. One is that Mary is his mother and Tamlin his father. She fought to get him back from Titania, but he missed the faerie world and one day after their son was born he was gone. Another says Timlin is his father and Queen Titania of the faeries his mother. She hid Tim in the human world as a baby with human parents so he could be brought up safe from the jealousy of her husband Auberon.

Tim is show more being chased by the mysterious Golden Lotus group as well as the Unseelie Court with help from some traitors from some Seelie Court members. He can only hide in the White School if he knows his true name and so begins his journey to uncover his real heritage. I really enjoyed this tale and the artwork and will definitely be tracking down some of the earlier books in this series which was created by Neil Gaiman and John Bolton. show less
