Cinda Williams Chima has a very old relation with the world of fantasy and magic. She started writing classical tales when she was just a student. That was the time when she could herself think like a child and thus was able to convey the most appropriate emotions in her young characters. Her characters not only are presented as teenagers in her novels but they remain young in the minds of the listeners forever. Heroes who garnished The Demon King and Flamecaster have been in the memory of many years. Going through these novels again also doesn’t give us a negative feeling of tiredness because the stories are always fresh for the taking. This story narrated by Carol Monda is a story of a teenager who is not very sophisticated in approach. The boy was brought up on the streets of the city where he learned the art to survive alone in the cruel world.
He not only survived but also thrived as well as a street lord. Han Alister thus is not one of those who like to stand second in the line. While studying in the school of magical arts he felt that he has restarted his life from where it all began. Boys who were skilled in the art of magic started mocking him for his abilities and there was nothing he could do because they were too powerful and skilled. So Alister decided to take a shortcut once again and he started establishing contacts with a mysterious wizard who could help him in that. At first, things go well but then the boy realizes that he has walked into a trap.
