Alvin Maker book series


<span class="SFPTagline"> From SCIFIPEDIA </span>

The Alvin Maker book series (AKA The Tales of Alvin Maker) is a series of books by Orson Scott Card.

The series takes place in an alternate version of frontier America. Alvin Maker is the seventh son of a seventh son, which makes him likely to have unusual powers. In this America, many people have "knacks", or small magical abilities.


Spoiler Warning: Plot details and/or information about the ending follow. If you wish to enjoy the work first, stop reading here and return at another time.

Alvin's powers may in fact prove to be extraordinarily important. He embodies the forces of order, and is opposed by chaos and entropy.
