Robert (ricroscupshigh) | 540 comments A Spell for Chameleon, by Piers Anthony. - "Xanth was the enchanted land where magic ruled--where every citizen had a special spell only he could cast. That is, except for Bink of North Village. He was sure he possessed no magic, and knew that if he didn't find some soon, he would be exiled. According to the Good Magician Humpfrey, the charts said that Bink was as powerful as the King or even the Evil Magician Trent. Unfortunately, no one could determine its form. Meanwhile, Bink was in despair. If he didn't find his magic soon, he would be forced to leave...."

White Cat, by Holly Black. - "Cassel comes from a family of curse workers -- people who have the power to change your emotions, your memories, your luck, by the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they're all mobsters, or con artists. Except for Cassel. He hasn't got the magic touch, so he's an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family. You just have to ignore one small detail -- he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago."

Dead of Light, by Chaz Brenchley. - "When Benedict left home, it was maybe the first time he'd stood up to his family. It was also meant to be the last. But suddenly Ben's learning a lot, far more than his university course could ever teach him. And as his family starts to die one by one--vicious, gruesome, horrible deaths--the chief lesson is that you can't turn your back on blood"

The Demon's Lexicon, by Sarah Rees Brennan. - "Sixteen-year-old Nick and his family have battled magicians and demons for most of his life, but when his brother, Alan, is marked for death while helping new friends Jamie and Mae, Nick's determination to save Alan leads him to uncover a devastating secret"

Secret of the Sixth Magic, by Lyndon Hardy. - "The laws of the five magics were being set aside. First to go were those of the high art of sorcery. Then true magic, upon which the commerce of all Arcadia depended, had be voided. And now even thaumaturgy, the engineering knowledge of the world, was under attack. Jemidon had traced the trouble to Melizar, the strange, cold being who had seemingly appeared from nowhere. Somehow, Melizar could alter or negate the laws that had always existed by using mysterious metamagic -- something which only he understood. If the world was to be saved from Melizar, it was up to Jemidon to save it. But what could he do? He was only an outcast, unable to preform even the simplest ritual without ruining everything"

Charmed Life, by Diana Wynne Jones. - "Everybody says that Gwendolyn Chant is a gifted witch with astonishing powers. Her brother Eric, known as Cat, is not so keen, for he has no talent for magic at all. However, life with the great enchanter is not what either of them expects, and sparks begin to fly."
