Chapter One: The Mage

Simon Snow stood at the edge of the quad looking out across the lawns towards the distant spires of Watford Academy School For Magicians. It was a crisp autumn morning with leaves rustling in an occasional gust of wind.

'Hey, Simon!' called a voice behind him.

He turned to see Baz Silvermist sauntering over, his long dark hair messy as usual and one blue eye gleaming mischievously at him through the lenses of silver-rimmed spectacles perched rakishly askew on his face.
