Thanks to the folks at Tor Books, I have three copy of Blake Charlton's Spellwright up for grabs! For more info about this title: Canada, USA, Europe.
Here's the blurb:
Nicodemus is a young, gifted wizard with a problem. Magic in his world requires the caster to create spells by writing out the text . . . but he has always been dyslexic, and thus has trouble casting even the simplest of spells. And his misspells could prove dangerous, even deadly, should he make a mistake in an important incantation.
Yet he has always felt that he is destined to be something more than a failed wizard. When a powerful, ancient evil begins a campaign of murder and disruption, Nicodemus starts to have disturbing dreams that lead him to believe that his misspelling could be the result of a curse. But before he can discover the truth about himself, he is attacked by an evil which has already claimed the lives of fellow wizards and has cast suspicion on his mentor. He must flee for his own life if he’s to find the true villain.
But more is at stake than his abilities. For the evil that has awakened is a power so dread and vast that if unleashed it will destroy Nicodemus... and the world.
The rules are the same as usual. You need to send an email at reviews@(no-spam)gryphonwood.net with the header "SPELLWRIGHT." Remember to remove the "no spam" thingy.
Second, your email must contain your full mailing address (that's snail mail!), otherwise your message will be deleted.
Lastly, multiple entries will disqualify whoever sends them. And please include your screen name and the message boards that you frequent using it, if you do hang out on a particular MB.
Good luck to all the participants!

Okay, the clever title alone convinced me.
Really looking forward to this one!
I got interested in this since the review. I'll join in the contest since I don't see any geographical restrictions mentioned.
Hmm... I have already pre-ordered it and am really looking forward to reading it too. Will you end the contest before it ships so I could cancel in time? Don't really want to end up with two copies :)
This is my most anticipated book this quarter! Maybe - this year but Towers of Midnight comes out in the Fall so...
