Book 1 : Tara Duncan, the Spellbinders

Tara Duncan is no normal teenager. She has magical powers. And she knows it. Mainly when stuff gets stuck on the ceiling when she is frightened. Stuff like her best friend, Fabrice. What she doesn’t know, however, is what she is. A mutant? A freak? When the manor she lives in with her grandmother since her parent’s death is attacked by the terrible Magister, she discovers the truth: She is a spellbinder, one of those who bind spells. For her own sake, she is sent to Otherworld, were she has to master her powers. But they are not easy to tame, and Magister hasn’t said his last word. As it seems that to him, Tara is… indispensable.
