As such he convinces himself to make a trip to the Castle of Mirrors, following the wife of the Red King, who was brought back to life in the shape of a horse in a mistaken attempt by the evil master at Bloor's Academy, Ezekiel. Charlie goes thinking he is helping Billy find his ow famiy, but in reality is going for selfish reasons, which get him out of balance for a time. In this book, Billy is adopted, with certain conditions. These conditions prove unbearable, as Charlie's new parents aren't interested in him, but are only a part of a scheme to control Billy and Charlie. In addition to the problems with Billy, there is a new boy at school, with magnetism. He uses this skill to turn Charlie and his friends against each other. The balance tips towards the dark side. However, one of Charlie's friends, Olivia, who was not thought to be endowed, discovers her own talent for creating illusions. In the end they are able to use this talent, to create some relief for Billy when the queen horse with a rider threatens the head master at the school.
I have really enjoyed this series of adventures. Each adventure has plenty of action, and intriguing characters.
