Everyone believes Oswiu is dead. His teacher needs it to stay that way.

In a world where magic is real, Oswiu has been tested and found ordinary. At fifteen, he still refuses to believe that a test can settle the matter.

Then Majel offers to teach him.

Her methods promise something the recognized Artists cannot give him: a way to learn magic without being born to it. For the first time, the life Oswiu has imagined seems within reach.

But a disastrous lesson leaves his mother dead. Majel conceals what happened, leaves a lifeless copy of Oswiu behind and takes him somewhere he cannot leave.

As his family mourns, Oswiu learns. His teacher has a college to build, and he is essential to her plans. Every discovery makes him more useful. Every concession gives him another reason to keep working.

Years pass. Beyond his confinement, the people he loves grow older. When other pupils arrive, Oswiu must decide what to teach them-and how much of the truth he dares to tell.

To get home, he will need more than mastery of Majel's magic. He will have to challenge the woman who taught him, confront his part in his mother's death and discover what freedom might mean after a life spent waiting for it.

An intimate, unsettling novel of magic, coercion and family, Oswiu, The Second follows a boy's longing for wonder into an adulthood he never chose.
