Eleven year old Silent lives with her Great Aunt Gen and uses a very special key to slip out a side door into a parallel version of Newbury Street, where she goes to school to learn magic. All goes well until the C.I.A. takes an interest in her aunt and the side door. Silent must rescue her aunt and keep the family secret from being exploited. Fortunately, she knows alchemy and spell-weaving, and meets a new friend, Raahi, who is very widely read and surprisingly helpful, despite being more or less blind.
