When Kendra Kandlestar is granted a wand by the ancient tree of Een, she aspires to become a great sorceress, perhaps even greater than her own mother. But as Kendra struggles to unlock the secret of Een magic, an unlikely talisman falls into her hands-the Shard from Greeve.

The dark magic of the shard comes all too easily to Kendra, and its allure is soon impossible to resist. With the shard in her possession, Kendra decides to take matters into her own hands and embark on a quest to track down her lost brother in the dreary depths of the infamous Rumble Pit.

Listed in the CCBC (Canadian Children's Book Centre) Magazine as one of the best books for 2010.
