Brilliant and ambitious, Rezdin the Wizard has one goal: impress the king, but he answers to Baron von Dappenshien who refuses him access to Court. Before Rezdin can maneuver himself into the limelight, the king charges von Dappenshien for treason, and Rezdin goes to ground. The wizard finds himself dependent upon the wits and good will of a starving street urchin. But what can he offer little Tommy in return? When old dangers and new alliances rear their menacing heads, Rezdin must decide where his true loyalties lie, and what to do with his new-found entourage of one.

THE ENCHANTED ADVENTURE ON THE STREETS OF HAVENSGATE CONTINUES!Traumatized teenagers shouldn’t practice magik. And Tommy is no exception. Reckless, sarcastic, and too clever for his own good, Tommy has managed to insult or offend nearly everyone in his first six months at the Academy. Only a kitchen servant, a professor older than magik itself, and Master Rezdin’s cat can see beyond his rough upbringing and thorny demeanor. But making good marks and staying out of trouble are just the beginning. With the oppressive Demystified Zone gone, a new era of magikal freedom dawns for Havensgate. But the failed coup and the Darke wizard Damir, still cast long shadows. Master Crispin, the newly minted High Commissioner, is tasked with the dubious honor of establishing a treaty before Monterron ignites a war. He’s determined to find the connection between Damir, Monterron, and the spontaneous fires plaguing the Havensgate populace. And the trail will lead him straight to Tommy. Tommy must face the darkness, within and without, if Havensgate has a chance at preventing a catastrophic magikal war. This magical sequel to Arrington's debut novel promises epic adventure, spectacular sorcery, and Arrington's signature sense of humor.
