Meet Marla Mason�smart, saucy, slightly wicked witch of the East Coast.� Sorcerer Marla Mason, small-time guardian of the city of Felport, has a big problem. A rival is preparing a powerful spell that could end Marla�s life�and, even worse, wreck her city. Marla�s only chance of survival is to boost her powers with the Cornerstone, a magical artifact hidden somewhere in San Francisco. But when she arrives there, Marla finds that the quest isn�t going to be quite as cut-and-dried as she expected�and that some of the people she needs to talk to are dead. It seems that San Francisco�s top sorcerers are having troubles of their own�a mysterious assailant has the city�s magical community in a panic, and the local talent is being (gruesomely) picked off one by one. With her partner-in-crime, Rondeau, Marla is soon racing against time through San Francisco�s alien streets, dodging poisonous frogs, murderous hummingbirds, cannibals, and a nasty vibe from the local witchery, who suspect that Marla herself may be behind the recent murders. And if Marla doesn�t figure out who is killing the city�s finest in time, she�ll be in danger of becoming a magical statistic herself.� From the Paperback edition.
