She understands that Safi could learn how to control her magic under the apprenticeship of a king's magician.

When a traveling group of magicians comes to the city to perform, they immediately recognize Safi's talents and offer to take her on as an apprentice. Safi is thrilled about her new adventure -- even if that means leaving behind Ada and their sickly father. And Ada is right to worry about her sister, for there may be monsters hiding behind friendly faces…
