The Magicians of Caprona

The Dukedom of Caprona is a place where music is enchantment and spells are as slippery as spaghetti. The magical business is run by two families – the Montanas and the Petrocchis – and they are deadly rivals. So when all the spells start going wrong, they naturally blame each other.

Chrestomanci suspects an evil enchanter; others say it is a White Devil. Or maybe a different kind of magic is needed to save Caprona ?

This is the second title in Diana Wynne Jones’s Chrestomanci series. Other titles are: Charmed Life, Witch Week, The Lives of Christopher Chant, Mixed Magics, Conrad’s Fate, and The Pinhoe Egg.
