Four children from different walks of life - a thief (Briar), a noble (Sandry), a seafarer (Daja) and an outcast (Tris) - all end up at the Winding Circle school. This is a school for mages to learn their craft though none of these four currently know that they are mages.

This is the first book in the Circle of Magic Quartet. It is really just an introduction of the children and the school. Though they do perform great magic to save themselves at the end.

I think it is well written and draws you into this magical world. The very real problems facing school-age children - bullying, humiliation, unfounded accusations - are handled realistically. All in all, a very good start to this series
