Preview A Taste of Magic
The companion to Scent of Magic (1999) follows the fortunes of Wisteria, who returns home from hunting, only to find bodies and blood everywhere. With the exception of 10-year-old Alysen, who was warded by one of the fen witches, everyone in the village is dead. The two youngsters set out on a perilous journey in search of the noble who sanctioned the carnage. As has been Norton's wont throughout her long, illustrious writing career, her magic is steeped in and a part of the natural world, and Wisteria's talent enables her to taste the air, forests, rivers, and all of nature. This is the last book Norton worked on before her death, in March 2005, and she was unable to complete it. At her request, the manuscript and copious notes were given to Rabe. Although it has a few rough spots, the characters and the action will draw readers in and hold them. Sally Estes
