Kim, a young street waif disguised as a boy, takes up with traveling magician Mairelon and his coachman Hunch after she is paid to search Mairelon's wagon and is caught in the act. She agrees to travel with Mairelon, help with his staging, learn some real magic, and eventually assist in unravelling the story of the Saltesh Set, a magical array of silverware that Mairelon has been falsely accused of stealing.
