The Circle Opens series by Tamora Pierce follows the Circle of Magic series, featuring Sandry, Tris, Daja, and Briar. In the Circle of Magic books the four became friends and learned how to work together. In this series, the Circle Opens, they will be apart for the first time since meeting. Tris, Daja and Briar are traveling with their individual teachers. Sandry stayed in Emelan to look after her uncle, Duke Vedris, after a heart attack.
Magic Steps opens with Sandry at the Duke's Castle. She has been there for a while helping her uncle with the running of the country - and to make sure he takes it easy. One day while Sandry is riding with the duke, she sees a boy dancing magic.
Sandry is shocked to find out that as the mage who discovered the boy, she is to become his teacher. And she has to balance her time between helping the boy, Pasco, helping her uncle, and now being caught up in a murder mystery. Someone killed a merchant and left clues that only someone who sees magic can follow...
