Some are born with magic.
Some without.

Matteo, un-magical counselor to the mighty of Halruaa, has devoted his life to the truth -- until he finds that he may have a hidden spark of magic after all. Now, with only a street waif for a companion, he's on the run from the mysterious Cabal. In the dismal Swamp of Akhlaur, Matteo will seek his own truth while battling a creature out of his nightmares.

But something even worse is on his trail: a relentless persecutor of magic. The Magehound.

Netting. “Trust your eyes, my friend,” he said in a clear, carrying voice. “I’m alive and well and happier than I’ve ever been! Come into camp, and I’ll tell you everything.” CHAPTER NINETEEN “It’s a trap,” Tzigone said flatly. Matteo hesitated, uncertain whether to believe what his eyes told him. “Andris was my dearest friend. I can’t walk away from him without a word. I’ll understand if you don’t wish to follow me, but I must go.” She thought this over and shrugged. Matteo stepped.

Exhaustion. Andris sent a wistful look at his friend. “You really think that this will earn me a position with a patron of note?” Matteo linked his hands behind his head and smiled. “I wouldn’t be surprised if Grozalum himself demanded your hire,” he said, naming the powerful illusionist who ruled the port city of Khaerbaal, Halruaa’s most important naval base. “Jordaini at alert,” demanded a deep, sonorous voice from the gatehouse. “First honors. Wizards in the house.” The two young men.

Miniature harvest moon. Obligingly her mother hiked up her skirts and ran after it. The child laughed and clapped her hands as the globe cleverly evaded capture, but her eyes lingered longer on the woman than on the dancing light. Mother was her world. To the child’s eyes, the small, dark woman was the greatest beauty and the wisest wizard in all of Halruaa. Her mother’s laughter was music and fairy song, and as she ran, her long brown hair streamed behind her like a silken shadow. No other.

His masters. In addition to this, she wanted Mbatu to finish the work of the previous day. If luck was with them, he would at long last run Keturah’s daughter to ground. The wench had been seen in Khaerbaal a few days ago, and the Lady Day festivities had offered a means of smoking her out. But the girl had managed to elude Mbatu in the crowds, and Kiva had been forced to leave the city or risk losing Andris to bids from other wizards. Tzigone was a complication, to be sure, but her presence in.

Coolly. The wizard braced himself against the rail for the coming impact and glared at his young counselor. “Consider yourself discharged, jordain.” “Now!” The helmsman gave the wheel a violent twist, and the Starsnake nosed about into the turning path of the rapidly approaching skyship. Just then the full impact of the expected wind seized them. The ship hurtled forward, leaping through the sky like a breaching dolphin. There was a soft hiss as the wooden rails of the two ships kissed gently.
