In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout."Dear Mrs. Harton,As terrible as it is for us, we must send our daughter Sarah out of the dangers of Africa and back to the safety of England..."So began the letter that introduced twelve-year-old Sarah Jane Lyon-White to Isabelle Harton, who with her husband Frederick, ran The Harton School for Boys and Girls in central London. The letter seemed quite simple and straightforward, and to most people, it would have been. But Isabelle could detect the faint glow of "true magic" about the letter - she could tell that its writer, Sarah's mother, was a practitioner of Earth magic. She could even sense in it the presence of a true Earth Master - surely Sarah's father. It was what was not written in the letter that resonated to Isabelle's own finely tuned 'extra' senses; "Sarah has gifts we cannot train," the letter whispered to her, "nor can anyone we know. Those we trust tell us that you can..."And it was true, for the Harton School was far from ordinary. It was Isabelle and Frederick's job to train children who had the potential for odd types of magic that did not pertain to the Elements, and therefore could not be trained by London's powerful Elemental Masters. The Harton School seemed quite traditional from the outside (if one overlooked the exotic Indian guardians) and on the surface seemed to be a haven for the children of missionaries. There were indeed quite a few children sent by parents who were stationed in distant and dangerous climes. But mixed in with the ordinary students were children with all sorts of strange abilities: clairvoyance, telepathy, the ability to sense hidden danger, the vision to see into the past, and even that rarest of all talents - the ability to see and communicate with the dead.To Isabelle, Sarah Jane seemed to fit right in, quickly befriending another student, a Cockney, street-urchin named Nan, who had fledgling danger-sensing and past-reading talents. And when Sarah's beloved parrot, Grey, arrived from Africa, she was clearly as happy as a child could be. But Isabelle was uneasy, for though she and Frederick knew that Sarah Jane had a touch of telepathy, both receptive and projective, there seemed to be something else about the girl - something that had not yet manifested.And Isabelle was right to be worried, for as soon as Sarah's full talents became evident, there was an attempt made on her life - an attempt that bore the scent of Elemental magic. For Sarah was that rarest of magicians: a true medium, and for some reason, a powerful Elemental Master wanted her dead.Isabelle knew that to protect her ward she would have to seek help from her old friends among the Elemental Masters of the city, although it had been years since she had socialized with any of them. And that meant, the possibility of seeing Lord David Alderscroft, the man she had once loved, but who had inexplicably chilled toward her and broken her heart long ago - the leader of the city's Elemental Masters, the man who was now called the Wizard of London., DAW Books, 2005, 2.5<
