Reviewer: Jessie, staff

Skin Hunger is the first book in the Resurrection of Magic series. This dark fantasy novel alternates between two stories that are separated by hundreds of years. One is the tale of Sadima, an orphan with the ability to communicate with animals, lives in a world where magic has almost entirely been lost. She helps two young men try to uncover the lost secrets of magic. The second tale follows the life of Hahp, a student at a school that trains wizards-- a school that hides a terrible secret that could cost Hahp his life. This book ends in a cliffhanger that will leave readers wanting to know more.
