But Earthaven's magic is draining away through the gateways into the human world, where Lord Hawk has escaped and is reforming his spellclave. To restore their power, the Spell Lords summon Natalie to take her mother's seat on the Council of Oq. They have chosen a powerful young treemage called Squirrel to join her, but he is not ready to sacrifice his familiar and flees into the human world, where he becomes Lord Hawk's prey. With the Blossoming fast approaching, Natalie and her friends once again find themselves fighting Hawk's Casters in a desperate race to gain Power of Thirteen - only this time Natalie has learned how to cast spells and is determined to do things her way, no matter what the Spell Lords say...
