Sandrilene fa Toren has moved to the palace of her uncle Duke Vedris to care for him after his recent heart attack. While the two are out riding Sandry sees a boy named Pasco dance a magic spell. To her dismay she soon learns that since she discovered Pasco she must handle his magical education until a proper teacher can be found.
At 14 Sandry feels she is too young for this. Even worse 12-year-old Pasco refuses to believe he even has magic. Light-footed and light-of-heart he threatens to drive Sandry crazy.
But Sandry has greater worries than Pasco. Ruthless assassins are working to eliminate a local merchant clan and as the grisly deaths mount it becomes clear they are using a terrifying power called Un-magic. Even more unnerving halting their reign of terror will require not only Sandry?s magic but Pasco?s as well.
