Behind the scenes

The Amulet of Samarkand (mentioned)

The parents of Nathaniel handed him over to the authorities when he was 5 years old, so he could become a magician. They received a significant amount of money in return.

Life[]

They were a (most likely British) couple that had at least one child, a son born in 1988, who they gave up to become a Magician's apprentice at the age of five years old. Nothing is known about their circumstances at the time of their son's birth, during the time period one or both of them were presumably looking after him or at any other point in their lives. However, the memories Nathaniel had as a young boy of the early years of his life are described as happy.
