The Black Magician

Amazon Description This year, like every other, the magicians of Imardin gather to purge the city of undesirables. Cloaked in the protection of their sorcery, they move with no fear of the vagrants and miscreants who despise them and their work -- until one enraged girl, barely more than a child, hurls a stone at the hated invaders . . . and effortlessly penetrates their magical shield. What the Magicians' Guild has long dreaded has finally come to pass. There is someone outside their ranks who possesses a raw power beyond imagining, an untrained mage who must be found and schooled before she destroys herself and her city with a force she cannot yet control. The Black Magician trilogy is a good starting fantasy for people new to the genre. The books are entertaining and with a fairly simple plot which makes them great for YA or children. In general, I would say if you are a fan of Harry Potter or other Young Adult fantasy, it’s worth reading this series.
