"That most rare and precious thing: a brand-new classic, both wholly original and wonderfully nostalgic."  —Alix E.

A life she finds increasingly stifling.   One night, Rowan fails to return from his mysterious travels. To find him, Biddy must venture into the outside world for the first time. But Rowan has powerful enemies—forces who have hoarded the world’s magic and have set their sights on the magician’s many secrets.   Biddy may be the key to stopping them. Yet the closer she gets to answers, the more she questions everything she’s ever believed about Rowan, her past, and the nature of magic itself.   Praise for The Magician's Daughter "Brilliantly imagined.
