Description

"A fine fantasy . . . Beautifully and fully imagined"—sixth in the marvelously magical young adult series from the author of The Wizard's Dilemma (Booklist).
While Nita Callahan grieves over her mother's death, Kit Rodriguez tackles a challenge as dangerous as it is strange: Rescue a young wizard who has vanished on his first assignment. This new wizard is unlike any other—he's autistic and he's a magical prodigy. His power is enormous. Now Kit and his dog, Ponch, must track down the missing boy before the Lone Power finds him.
