The orphan Tamly and his best friend Kym are as different as fire and snow. Kym has magic coming out of her fingers, and Tamly has none at all.
When their village is threatened by bad magic this unlikely pair will need to use their combined talents to steal the Book of Spells from the evil sorcerer Lord Harshax.
Now the sorcerer brothers Harshax and Krushax are hunting Tamly down - but for what terrible purpose? It will take all his courage, and all Kym's magic, to face their enemies and thwart their evil plan.
