Brief Description: Previously published under series Outcast. Brief Description: Includes an excerpt from: Magic zero, book 3: Ghostfire. Brief Description: "Timothy is just starting to settle into his new life as the only person in existence without magic. He hopes that things will get a little easier now that his father's wise friend Leander has taken the role of Grandmaster from the corrupt Nicodemus. Unfortunately, Timothy soon learns that his dragon friend, Verlis, has been imprisoned deep under the sea by the evil Constable Grimshaw. Verlis helped Timothy when so many others had turned their backs on him. Now Timothy and his friends have no choice but to try the impossible--to defy Grimshaw and free Verlis, even if it puts them all in danger..."--Dust cover flap. Publisher Marketing: Timothy uses his powers for peacemaking in book two of the fantastical Magic Zero series from two "New York Times "bestselling authors. Timothy now knows that possessing no magical powers makes him very powerful indeed. Having defeated Nicodemus, Timothy travels to a war-torn dimension to help the Wurm--fierce magicians and warriors descended from an ancient dragon race. There is an age-old feud between the Wurm and the Parliament of Mages, and as Timothy investigates, he uncovers a deadly conspiracy. Further complicating matters is a mysterious girl who challenges the leadership of the Order of Alhazred, and the disconcerting fact that not only do mages continue to disappear...but someone is targeting Timothy as the villain. This second book in the Magic Zero quartet, originally known as the Outcast series, features a refreshed cover and an unforgettable adventure. Review Citations:
