Ninevah Redstone must find Simeon Dark (the last living sorcerer) and stop evil Mr. Strood and his army of Tiger-men from destroying the land of the Drift--but her enemies are ruthless and determined to stop her first. Though overpopulated and frenetically paced, this alternately funny and terrifying story will appeal to fans of the first book, Seven Sorcerers.

Nin Redstone is determined to rescue her brother from the bogeyman who stole him. Danger lurks in a dimension of dreams, nightmares, and dying magic, but Nin's tenacity wins her unexpected supporters. Some plot points remain murky in apparent preparation for a sequel, but the strong characters and detailed setting make this a solid choice for fantasy readers.
