Glorious new rejacket of a Diana Wynne Jones Chrestomanci novel – now a book with extra bits!

Conrad’s Fate follows the story of Conrad, a young boy with a good heart, who is seemingly plagued by bad karma. So much so, that his future appears to hold nothing but terrible things. In order to change his fate, Conrad must alter his circumstances; otherwise, quite frankly, he is doomed.

Conrad is sent in disguise to Stallery Mansion, a magical fortress with power over the town of Stallchester. His mission is to uncover the identity of the person wreaking havoc on his fate and ultimately kill them. However, is the plan as simple as it sounds? Predictably, it is not, and from the moment Conrad encounters a boy named Christopher, things begin to take a bizarre turn.

This is trademark Diana Wynne Jones – a novel packed with laugh-aloud humour, insane logic, spot-on observations, organised chaos, and a captivating adventure oozing magic from every seam. Literally.
