When his best friend Essie Roe, a witch, outs him as a "blank" (immune to magic), Mal flees and uses his skills to help his partner, Boone, hunt magical artifacts around the world. Five years later, they go in search of a magical knife that Mal can use to get his revenge. This lyrically written, globe-trotting historical fantasy will enthrall sophisticated teen readers.
