Synopsis

Sandry's gift is to weave magic like a thread, and her years of study have taught her the importance of controlling her powers. Then, she finds Pasco, an untrained boy who can dance powerful magic without even realizing it. Pasco, however, has no interest in being a mage. He's going to follow the family profession and become a Provost guard. But, untrained magic has a tendency to break out in dangerous ways...

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Part of the 8-book Tamora Pierce reissue for Fall 2006, this title in the Circle Opens quartet features spellbinding new cover art. Concides with the release of WILL OF THE EMPRESS in trade pb.

Lady Sandrilene fa Toren knows all about unusual magic--she herself spins and weaves it like thread. But when she witnesses a boy dancing a spell, even she is confounded. To her dismay she gets news of a mysterious murderer stalking a clan of local merchants. The killer employs the strangest magic of all: the ability to reduce essence to nothingness. As the murders mount and the killer grows bolder, Sandry's teaching takes on a grave purpose. It becomes clear to everyone that the killings can only be stopped by the combined magic of two people: the young teacher and her even younger student.
