-> Five hundred years after the end of the world, and goblins had been at the cellar again...
Maddy Smith has always been an outsider. Born with a rusty-coloured rune on her hand - what the villagers call a ''ruin''mark - she is scarred by this symbol of the old gods, a sign of ''magic''.
And everyone knows that magic is dangerous. Except for Maddy, who actually thinks it's rather fun. Until now. For suddenly her friend One-Eye, a rascally Outlander, wants her to open Red Horse Hill and descend into World Below - a world filled with goblins and far worse - to retrieve a relic of the old gods...
A novel by Joanne Harris, ''Runemarks'' is the story of Maddy Smith, a fourteen year old girl who is sent on a quest to retrieve an artifact of the old gods called the Whisperer.
