Spellweaver: The Second Novel of Maximus

When a beautiful mystery stumbles in from the snow on Belthor Spellweaver's first day at the Grand School of Sorcery, he can't help but be drawn to her. Unlike his classmates, who avoid the quirky Agnete, Belthor befriends her-and discovers her terrible secret. Then the disappearances start. Unwilling to sit idly by while the students are in danger, Belthor and his friends set out to find those who have been taken. But something's wrong: darkness festers in Agnete's heart, and it frightens the wizarding Masters-for good reason. The power she's bottled up for years is coming out, and people will die when it does. If left unchecked, Agnete's hate will consume the world. And only Belthor Spellweaver can stop it.
