Nemelia Hunter thinks she is an ordinary girl until she discovers that not everyone has the ability to point to an object, then wish for it to move or to be at their side. Her adoptive parents fear for her safety when she does this trickery and try to tell her that she must keep her special gift a secret or she might be classed as a witch. All is well and her secret is safe, until she reaches her ninth birthday; her real mother appears, telling her she must fight a deadly duel with a powerful magician to stay alive. The reason: Nemelia Hunter is a sorceress' daughter and the fate of her adoptive land depends on her winning this battle, to save it from slavery
