A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Driven out of their home by a suspicious fire, Sadima, Franklin and Somiss take refuge in a hidden cave, honeycombed with dark, twisting tunnels. Somiss, now exiled and desperate, is convinced the dark passages were once the home of ancient magicians and his obsession with restoring the magic deepens. Sadima dreams of escape ∼ for her, for Franklin, and for the orphaned street boys Somiss has imprisoned in a crowded cage.
Generations later, Hahp is struggling to survive the wizard's increasingly dangerous classes at the Limòri Academy of Magic. Forging an uneasy and fragile truce with his secretive roommate, Gerrard, Hahp vows to stop the evils of the academy. But building trust, with few chances to speak, is almost impossible, and as the boys plot to destroy Somiss and his dark, draconian Academy, their tenuous pact falters…
The worlds of Sadima and Hahp move closer together in the second compelling installment of Kathleen Duey's dark and powerful trilogy.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In the second volume of this powerful trilogy, Somiss, exiled and desperate, hoards the magic he is recovering from ancient documents while Sadima and Franklin struggle to contain his egomaniacal ambitions by secretly recording the magic, hoping to share it with humankind. Generations later, Hahp and Gerrard, students at Somiss’s brutal academy, endure the painful ordeals used to “teach” magic. Their tenuous pact, forged to survive, falters as they plot to destry Somiss, the school . . . and set magic free.
