Books Included in This Collection:
The Wizards of Once
Kick off the journey with this bold introduction to Wish, a fearless Warrior, and Xar, a boy who can wield magic. The story balances brisk action with clever humour as they confront a growing threat to their world. The dark forest, the clash of two cultures, and the spark of an unlikely alliance establish a rich, expansive fantasy landscape that invites readers to join Wish and Xar on a quest that only becomes more gripping as the series unfolds. Expect witty dialogue, high-stakes moments, and a world that invites curiosity and rereading.

The Wizards of Once: Twice Magic
Twice Magic intensifies the danger as witches descend on the Wildwoods. Wish carries a powerful Spell Book, while Xar bears a mysterious Witchstain on his hand. Bound by a wall that seems designed to separate them, the pair race against time to avert a curse that could darken their entire realm. The narrative deepens the relationship between the protagonists and widens the magical canvas with daring adventures, strategic spellcraft, and the ever-present question of whether friendship can overcome ancient prejudice.

The Wizards of Once: Knock Three Times
In this instalment, Wish and Xar become outlaws, pursued by Warriors, Wizards, and, most perilously, by Witches. Their quest to assemble the ingredients for a Spell to Get Rid of Witches pushes them to confront betrayal and peril at every turn. The tension climbs as loyalties are tested and danger closes in. With a sense of impending doom and escalating stakes, readers are pulled toward a nail-biting question: who can be trusted when every choice could cost them everything?

The Wizards of Once: Never and Forever [Hardcover]
The final chapter sees Wish and Xar gathering the remaining ingredients for the Cup of Second Chances and facing the lake of the lost. They must outwit a hungry Tatzelwerm and decide whether the spell can truly lift the Curse of the Wildwoods or seal witches’ reign forever. The hardcover edition elevates the culmination of their journey, delivering a dramatic, emotionally resonant ending that ties together four volumes of magic, danger, and growth into a satisfying finale.
