![]() ![]() William sneaks him back to the abbey so that Brother Snail, the crippled monk who is a healer, can help him. The injured creature is a hob, a magical creature who refuses to give William his name, lest William gain power over him. He was a creature the like of which William had never seen before. A long, thin tail curled and uncurled around the body. Then he saw a small, pointed face, the skin as brown as a beechnut, pointed ears that ended in tufts of reddish brown hair, and a small, skinny body no bigger than a cat’s. The first thing he saw was a pair of large green eyes, flecked through with splinters of gold. ![]() While there, he hears a plaintive cry for help and investigating, discovers a strange creature caught in a trap. ![]() It is the darkest of the Dark Ages, and fourteen-year-old William is sent into the forest to gather firewood for Crowfield Abbey, the impoverished monastery where he has lived since becoming an orphan. ![]()
