For Kip, growing up in shadow of the human men-only Prince George's College of Sorcery has been nineteen years of frustration. Magic comes naturally to him, yet he's not allowed to study sorcery because he's a Calatian--one of a magically created race of animal people. But when a mysterious attack leaves the masters desperate for apprentices, they throw their doors open, giving Kip his chance. As he fights to prove his worth to the human sorcerers, he encounters other oddities: a voice that speaks only to him, a book that makes people forget he's there, and one of the masters who will only speak to him through a raven. Greater than any of those mysteries or even whether the College's attacker will return to finish the job is the mystery of how Kip and his friends can prove that this place is where they belong...

Kip is a Fox-Catalonian, a human-fox mix created by a Magical Feat a hundred odd years ago, but as far as he knows the first of his kind, any Catalonian-kind to attempt to join the human-only Sorcerer's guild and learn the secrets of magic. He knows he has some ability, because he can already summon magic, as can a small percentage of humans, but its the control he needs to learn. Facing extreme prejudice he learns as best he can along with his best friend an otter (not normally an animal that associates with foxes, but there's also reference to mice etc, so many of their normal traits are ignored) and another new recruit testing the acceptance of the Master, a girl names Emily.
The setting is colonial america, with Independence just starting to be considered by the uprising Separatist Movement, and obviously the parallels to slavery are clear and obvious, but not massively belabored. It works well, it's a clever setting interesting characters, the expected bully, reluctant and unbelieving teachers, and wider back-story that slowly emerges.
Looking forward to the rest of the series ( )
