If their friendship suffers a little, isn’t that a fair price to pay for gaining a magician’s golden tunic? Dana’s coming-of-age quest is somewhat intriguing, but she herself is unfortunately flat. Ambitious, Dana absorbs herself in her education, spending less and less time with Kai. Dana becomes a magician’s apprentice in a remote tower surrounded by vicious wolves. She grows up with only one friend, Kai, whom no one else can see-except a mysterious stranger, who arrives in Dana’s drought-plagued village and buys her from her loving parents. Dana is born on a dark and stormy night, when fierce winds pelt her tiny farmhouse, and the midwife sees sparks in her sapphire eyes. Beautiful elves, loyal dwarves, secret unicorns and vengeful ghosts pepper this colorful but hollow coming-of-age fairytale.
