Riassunto

Having been driven out of their home by fire, Sadima, Franklin and Somiss escape and seek refuge in the secret cave hidden in the rocks. Somiss, now exiled and desperate, continues to hoard the magic he is recovering from the ancient documents, while Sadima and Franklin struggle to contain his egomaniacal ambitions. In Haph and Gerrard's world, forced to continually endure the painful ordeals used to 'teach' magic, the boys come to an uneasy and fragile truce as they vow to work together to stop the evils of the academy. But their tenuous pact falters as they plot to destroy Somiss and the dark academy and set the magic free...

Kathleen Duey has written more than forty books for children. The Unicorn's Secret is based on a dream she had when she was at school. She lives in southern California.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Driven out of their home by a suspicious fire, Sadima, Franklin and Somiss take refuge in a hidden cave, honeycombed with dark, twisting tunnels. Somiss, now exiled and desperate, is convinced the dark passages were once the home of ancient magicians and his obsession with restoring the magic deepens. Sadima dreams of escape ∼ for her, for Franklin, and for the orphaned street boys Somiss has imprisoned in a crowded cage.
Generations later, Hahp is struggling to survive the wizard's increasingly dangerous classes at the Limòri Academy of Magic. Forging an uneasy and fragile truce with his secretive roommate, Gerrard, Hahp vows to stop the evils of the academy. But building trust, with few chances to speak, is almost impossible, and as the boys plot to destroy Somiss and his dark, draconian Academy, their tenuous pact falters...
The worlds of Sadima and Hahp move closer together in the second compelling installment of Kathleen Duey's dark and powerful trilogy.
