Young, wild Tamrin runs away from Canterstock College in this third book. As a wizard's apprentice, she has learned to harness her power in secret, but now she must escape to find her twin and discover her true identity. The cluttered cast of supporting characters, as well as multiple viewpoints, obscure her story, but Tamrin's quest for self-identity is strong and often moving.
