Description: Product Description
Sean Stewart's distinctive prose has been praised as "emotionally intense" by the New York Times. Now in Mockingbird, he combines haunting simplicity with eloquence in a tale of two sisters bound by their mother's gift--a legacy of magic... When Toni Beauchamp's mother died, she and her sister Candy thought it meant a new beginning, a life free of magic. But Elena Beauchamp had one last gift for her daughter --a sip from the Mockingbird Cordial. And the moment Toni held the drink to her lips, her life would never be the same...


Amazon.com Review
There was no question that Toni Beauchamp's mother, Elena, could work magic. She used magic the way other people use credit cards, ringing up huge bills to get the things she wanted. But the debts had to be paid off sooner or later, and in this case payment meant letting one of the six lesser gods known as Riders take possession of her body. When Elena died, Toni and her sister Candy thought the magic died with her. But their mother left them a gift that couldn't be refused, and now Toni finds herself endowed with the same powers she once despised in her mother. And if that wasn't enough, her mother also left behind emotional, financial, and familial disasters that she and Candy must find some way to cope with. --Craig E. Engler
