With a shattered heart, Ceony Twill comes to Magician Emery Thane's home. Despite her aspirations to bespell metal, Ceony, who graduated first in her class from the Tagis Praff School for the Magically Inclined, is given an apprenticeship in paper magic. And it will be her sole magic—forever—once she's bound to the paper.
However, Ceony discovers spells from the odd but kind Thane that are much more amazing than she could have dreamed, including the ability to read fortunes, animate paper animals, and bring tales to life via ghostly pictures. However, Ceony also learns of the extreme risks associated with using magic that is prohibited as she explores these marvels.
Thane's heart is torn out of his chest by an Excisioner, a practitioner of evil, flesh magic, who breaks into the cabin. Ceony must confront the wicked magician in order to save her teacher's life. She will then have to go on an incredible journey that will take her into Thane's still-beating heart and expose the man's own soul.
The Paper Magician is a remarkable, darkly humorous novel that comes from the creative imagination of debut author Charlie N. Holmberg and is sure to please readers of all ages.
