An orphan girl in Regency London stumbles onto a most unusual apprenticeship with a travelling magician in this YA fantasy.

When a stranger offers Kim a small fortune to break into a traveling magician's wagon, she doesn't hesitate. Having grown up a waif in the dirty streets of London, Kim isn't above a bit of breaking-and-entering.

But there is something odd about this magician. He isn't like the other hucksters and swindlers that Kim is used to. When he catches her in the act, Kim thinks she's done for -- until he suggests she become his apprentice. Kim wonders how tough it could be faking a bit of hocus pocus.

But Mairelon isn't an act. His magic is real.
