(Left) The cover of The Third Wish, illustrated by Ryan Johnson. The Steel Wizard, Levi Jacobs, stands on a mountain top, overlooking the city of Heart Forge. He's dressed in a black wizard's hat and robe, with glittering, golden decorations, while magic sparkles around his hand. In the background, the sun is setting and up above, the stars are beginning to come out. Lurking in Levi's shadow are the red eyes of Levi's familiar, Inorath, who used to be the monster that hides under the beds and in the closets of children. (Right) On a purple background matching parts of the sky from the cover of the book are the following words: Loosely mix the following in a bowl: 1 deposed prince 1 spy/scientist 1 spy/wizard 2 troll serial killers 1 alien pirate Hatred of the current timeline 1 time machine In separate bowl, place: 1 young wizard (bottom of bowl) Weight of the World (on top) Apply downward pressure to weight of world.
