Shadows of Magic

Sarah McCarthy

A complete coming-of-age epic fantasy trilogy

Nobody becomes a mage before sixteen. Kel is six, alone in the woods, and the forest is doing what she asks.

Her brother Finn is sixteen, and when his magic came, it burned their village to the ground. In a kingdom that hangs its mages from the trees along the road, a little girl who can make the walnut trees grow is the most dangerous secret alive, and the man who has grown rich hunting mages has just heard about her.
