The Valley of the Wolves

For nine years, Dana has loved a boy only she can see.

His name is Kai. He has blond hair and an easy smile and a wicked sense of humor; he's her closest companion and confidant, the best and most trusted person she knows. Is he a figment of her imagination?

Then the Maestro invites Dana to study sorcery at the great Tower in the Valley of the Wolves. The Maestro is mysterious, abrupt, even frightening; still, Dana can't resist the chance to learn to summon the rain and spin fire from her hands.

But soon the questions begin: Who is the woman in the golden tunic who tells Dana to "look for the unicorn"? What is the relationship between Fenris -- Dana's lone fellow student -- and the wolves that swirl about the base of the Tower? And most important of all, what secrets does the Valley hold about Kai's nature, and about Dana's own destiny?
