Synopsis: "A boy [searches] for real magic, seeking it out among the stalls of street magicians in his city, all of whom are merely performing illusions. His curiosity gets the attention of the Regent's court, who invites him in to learn how real magic can happen. But the ability to perform magic at the Regent's request has a price." --Chuck Rothman
