Toren doesn't want to be a wizard, she's a story teller but her brother sells her to Bender, a wizard, to act as his apprentice. Only boys can be wizards, so she gets a haircut and has to pretend. Her first adventure is a camp for story tellers to learn more about the craft.Going by the name Tor she also attends the wizard school for boys in Midrosh for a year. There a dragon chose her for a life-long friend and she defeats the evil wizard Mordek leaving her with a bad leg and a boy named Romach determined to kill the person he knows as Tor. She believes Mordek will return someday, so she studies and practices until she is even teaching the wizard, Bender. Toren yearns to be reunited with her family. Will she stay and complete her obligation?Shevi Arnold is a talented writer and I'm glad to know this is part of a series.
