Right now well into her apprenticeship with magician Emery Thane, twenty-year-old Ceony Twill is continuing to discover the joy of paper magic. She adores getting her spells to life in surprising ways, from learning the energy of distortion to creating a beloved paper pet dog. And she secretly hopes that the romance she foresaw blossoming between her as well as the peculiar yet strikingly attractive Emery finally becomes real. But when one magician having a penchant for lethal scheming feels that Ceony possesses a key, he vows to find it…even if it tears aside the fabric of their marvelous world. After some attacks target Ceony, and catch those she retains most dear in the crossfire, she understands she must find the true limits of her power…and keep her knowledge from dropping into wicked hands. The delightful sequel to Charlie N. Holmberg’s The Paper Magician, The Cup Magician will charm readers youthful and old as well.
