"This is breathtaking, swashbuckling stuff as the story relentlessly unfolds until it finally reaches its spectacular conclusion...There is much to recommend about this book, and indeed the series: the characters are believeable; it is beautifully written, with page after page of powerful imagery; it is utterly compulsive and inventive reading for young teens." (Birmingham Post, 14 Sep 02 )

Format:Paperback
In the final part of the Doomspell trilogy Rachel and Eric find themselves struggling to hold back the terrifying Griddas unleashed against the earth. Eric is given a crucial role and plays a greater part in the fight against the evil forces, amassing to destroy them all.
I have enjoyed all the books and was spellbound until the end as the long forgotten secrets of 'Orin Fen' are revealed.
Brilliant!

Format:Hardcover
The Wizard's Promise by Cliff Mcnish is the third book in the series of the Doomspell trilogy where a great wizard makes a promise to three children whose names are Morpeth, Eric and Rachel. The promise is to help them in war against the Griddas, which the witches foolishly released in book two, The Scent of Magic.
The book is an excellent thriller and starts when the Griddas kill the witches. The leader of the Griddas called Gultrathaca, flies to earth to capture Eric and Rachel and take them back with her to Ool, a place where the witches once ruled but were destroyed by the Griddas. There, Gultrathaca tries many times to kill Rachel but Rachel's magic helps her to survive the hundreds of Griddas she is up against.
Eric on the other hand can destroy spells but not make them. Gultrathaca tests Eric and they find that he can detect things from a huge distance. She asks him if he could detect a prison world where she said the rest of the Griddas were. She was lying because in fact the world was not a Gridda world but a wizard world called Orin Fen.
Gultrathaca and her army fly through space with Eric in her arms. He tells them the way but he has his own plan. He plans to use his anti-magic to destroy the Griddas. He can do this because the Griddas live on magic and if Eric destroys their magic he would kill them.
The end is just as good as the beginning but I'm not going to tell you about it. Read the book!
COMMENTS
I think that this book is extremely gripping and I read it numerous times. It has a great plot and has loads of magic in it. The characters are interesting and some have senses of humour. I think this book is well worth reading and is certainly my favourite story. I hope you enjoy reading it!

The Doomspell Trilogy is wondrous! Weaving magic and danger in every chapter! I just couldn't get enough! Me and my children loved all the books.
In the final part, The Wizard's Promise, we felt like storm whirls, whisked back into Rachel and Eric's world. There are some great new characters like Serpantha, Albertus and the spectrums as well as all the old favourites.
The story is told, as always, with vivid imagery and rich language and the cheeky Prapsies to boot!
Everything leads to the final cataclysmic battle of Griddas, Witches, Wizard's and children.
And just when you start to think what might happen McNish surprises again. Wicked!!!
