Seventh Son: The Tales of Alvin Maker Book One By Orson Scott Card Paperback. In a land where magic and myth intertwine with history, Alvin must face both natural and supernatural forces that threaten his life and his destiny. This edition is a Tor mass market reprint (later printing, ~2000s) with classic cover art by Dennis Nolan. Seventh Son is the opening volume of Orson Scott Card’s Tales of Alvin Maker, a series that blends fantasy, folklore, and alternate American history. Set on the frontier of an alternate early America, the novel tells the story of Alvin Miller — the seventh son of a seventh son — a child destined for extraordinary power as a “Maker.” In a land where magic and myth intertwine with history, Alvin must face both natural and supernatural forces that threaten his life and his destiny. This book set the stage for Card’s richly imagined saga, praised for its unique fusion of American folklore, Native mythology, and fantasy adventure. For fans of Ender’s Game, this series showcases another side of Card’s storytelling talent, emphasizing allegory and mythmaking.
