(3) 4-6 In the city of Ashara those with magical power (the "kasir") lord it over those without (the "halani," or "sparkers"). That changes when Marah Levi, a fourteen-year-old halan with a gift for music and languages, translates a forbidden spell to save her loved ones from a deadly illness. An unusual protagonist and a South Asian–inspired setting make this a promising fantasy debut.
