In the villages near Chrestomanci Castle, the Pinhoes keep their magic secret so they don't attract Chrestomanci's attention. But as relations between the Pinhoes and their neighbor Farleighs turn sour, Chrestomanci's young apprentice, Cat Chant, is drawn into the mess when he befriends Marianne Pinhoe, the future family head.
