In an alternate version of frontier America, young Alvin is the seventh son of a seventh son, and such a birth is powerful magic. Yet even in the loving safety of his home, dark forces reach out to destroy him. Age rating: 10+
This is the first installment of The Tales of Alvin Maker series, and it is intended to be read as the starting point for the narrative arc that follows Alvin Miller.
The film titled Seventh Son is not a faithful adaptation of this book and is instead loosely based on a different series by Joseph Delaney.
The narrative serves as a fictionalized reimagining of the early life of Joseph Smith Jr., the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, set within an alternate history of the American frontier.
