Sandry, one of the four young mages in Pierce's Circle of Magic Quartet, is a "stitch witch" who can weave magic as well as cloth. She reluctantly takes on twelve-year-old Pasco as a student, and the plot revolves around her struggles as a first-time teacher and her involvement in investigating a series of vicious murders. The fantasy emphasizes Sandry's strength of character in the face of danger and focuses on her attempts to find a solution.
