Publisher Description

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.

"Sandry discovers a boy who can dance magic. I thought this was very creative and stoked my imagination. Her new student adds a lot of humor to the story. To top it off there is a really bad set fo villians. I always find it more satisfactory when they are defeated. Really good. "

    " Oh man, Sandry! She grew up so much in this book! I really liked the addition of Pasco and I really loved Sandry having to teach him and the epilogue? Perfect! I enjoyed this a lot a lot a lot! "

    " A very light YA story. None of the characters really gripped my interest but its decently written. Rather formulaic with the Medieval setting that dominates too much of Fantasy. Not a big fan of "Princess" characters either. "

    " Pierce delivers another book full of fantasy, finding yourself and danger. I was surprised at how fast the plot was advancing, but I had to remind myself that this quartet involves four different people's stories. "

    " The details of this book are not too clear; I remember being completely in love with the idea of dancing magic, and till now the idea still influences many of my creations. Enjoyable; the climax leaves a little to be desired, though. "
