Who or what is Endymion Spring? A power for good, or for evil . . . A legendary book that holds the secret to a world of knowledge . . . A young boy without a voice - whose five-hundred-year-old story is about to explode in the twenty-first century . . .
Blake is visiting Oxford with his academic mother and his kid sister. While their mum immerses herself in olde worlde volumes, Blake feels trapped in the dusty air of the college library. Until one day, Blake is running his finger along the shelf and feels something pierce his finger, drawing blood - like a bite. The book responsible is a battered old volume, with a strange clasp like a serpent's head - with real fangs. Printed on its front are words: Endymion Spring. Its paper is almost luminous - blank, wordless, but with a texture that seems to shine, and fine veins running through it. The paper quivers, as if it's alive. And as Blake looks, words begin to appear on the page - words meant only for him; words no one else can see. The book has been waiting five-hundred years for the right boy; now it must fulfill its destiny . . .

Matthew Skelton was born in the UK but spent most of his childhood in Canada. Endymion Spring is his first novel. He started writing while working as a teaching assistant at the University of Mainz, continued when he came back to Oxford to work as a research assistant, then abandoned his jobs to live on £12 a week in a borrowed room in someone else's house while he wrote and wrote and wrote.

Condición: Bueno. : En una noche oscura, una figura encapuchada arrastra una pesada caja por calles cubiertas de nieve. El cofre, cubierto de imágenes de bestias míticas, solo puede abrirse cuando los colmillos de su cierre con cabeza de serpiente prueban la sangre. Siglos después, en una biblioteca de Oxford, un niño toca un libro extraño y siente que algo le perfora el dedo. El volumen está en blanco, sin palabras, pero su papel tiene finas venas que lo recorren y parece temblar, como si estuviera vivo. Las palabras comienzan a aparecer en la página, palabras que nadie más que el niño puede ver. Y así se desarrolla un secreto atemporal.
