Soon Dido finds out that it's her destiny to try to save light magic from being taken over by Spelkor. Many battles lie ahead but first Dido has to destroy the Stanstowe shadowmaster if she's to have any chance of survival. And she doesn't even know where to begin. As the shadowmaster draws near, Dido suspects all those around her.

[Ranqu · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a really nice book. Really cute and mysterious. Dido is a very sweet and funny character. I found it really easy to relate to her. She has just started secondary, and luckly found it easy to make friends.
I loved the book and the characters.

It is the first in the series and I recommend everyone to read all three books!:))
