Symphony of Magic: The Ivory Bell

About the Book

Several decades ago, the people of Biggacontinent discovered that magic flows throughout their land. With some effort and practice, almost anyone could harness its powers and use it for anything their imaginations could conjure. But as some parts of the continent are flourishing, other parts have remained untouched. Until now.

Friends Mirko Pine and Hyplen Pavalo, residents of the last town to receive magic, had been awaiting magic all their lives, and never expected it to come as it did. When a wizard named Channel has a precious, powerful item, known as the Ivory Bell, stolen from him by two renowned thieves, he enlists the youths to help him in exchange for the adventure he can provide. With the help of Channel's versatile collection of magic bells, some farming ghosts, and even a dream salesman, Mirko and Hyplen are thrown head-long into the miraculous world as magic has made it...and into the wicked underbelly the thieves won't soon let them forget.
