(4) 4-6 In this prequel to Midnight Magic, homeless servant boy Fabrizio begins his work with Mangus the Magician. Trouble is afoot in this convoluted fifteenth-century Italian-palace intrigue as Mangus's enemies frame him for treason. The sketchy character development masks Fabrizio's motives and Mangus's reluctance for his help, making this offering most meaningful for readers of the earlier book.
