Hundreds of years ago, the long-lived wizard Od saved the land of Numis in exchange for the right to establish a school of magic. Today, magic in Numis is rigidly controlled by the king’s laws, and wizards devote their powers solely to the king’s service. But the situation seems ripe for change, thanks to the intersecting actions of an independent-minded princess with a secret, a traveling magician cloaked in illusions, a wizard questioning his life’s path, a restless court official, and a lonely, wild gardener with a vast, hidden power. The lyrical and prolific fantasy writer Patricia McKillip remains in top form with this standalone novel.
