Kidnapped by a Spellmage named Hawk, twelve-year-old Natalie joins forces with Hawk's son in an attempt to foil the mage's evil plan. In the process, she discovers her own magical heritage and helps save the realm of Earthaven. The plot falters partway through, but the fantasy's unique elements and interesting characters help the story maintain momentum.
