At the beginning of the book you are introduced to Sandry locked in a storage closet hidden by magic. She has an oil lamp that is almost out of oil, without any extra oil to refuel it! How will she get out of the coming darkness? When you are introduced to Daja she thinks that she is a ghost! But she discovers that she is covered in salt. When she looks around she sees that she is the only one of her family left alive. Is that her fate too? What is her purpose in life? Will she be saved? When you meet Briar his name is not Briar. His name is Roach and he is a thief. He is caught three times and is about to be taken away when a man takes him elsewhere. Where is he going to be taken? When you meet Tris she is being laughed at by the other girls in her dormitory. The winds rush into the dormitory and scares the other girls. Then, like always, the people send her away like the rest of her family. Where will she go now? These four children meet at the winding circle temple and become friends. They discover their magic at the discipline cottage. When disaster strikes, can Sandry weave their way out of this mess? Find out in the Circle of Magic series.
