This book follows A SCENT OF MAGIC; it is a celebration of the sense of taste rather than scent. Wisteria's entire village is slain while the teenager was off hunting for food. Then she discovers a single survivor, a young girl who seems maddened by all the death she's witnessed. This girl is none too friendly to Wisteria, saying the slayers were hunting for her, but the village leader would not give Wisteria up.
Determined to have revenge for her loved ones, Wisteria vows revenge, but before she can act, she must take the single other survivor to a place of safety-- if there is such a place...
Andre Norton left A TASTE OF MAGIC unfinished at her death. It was seamlessly completed by Jean Rabe.
From back cover: Wisteria has been favored by the Green Ones with a taste of magic, a sorcerous ability to attune her senses to the flavor and presence of enchantment, spells, and elementals.
Up to now she has lived a pastoral existence, a life of study, contemplation, and oneness with nature, but that is destroyed when her village is slaughtered by a barbaric warlord.
Together with the only other survivor, an adolescent girl, this brave young sorceress sets out on a quest for revenge.
Along the way, the two survivors encounter deadly threats, both large and small, but nothing will deter them.
Wisteria has developed a new taste, a taste for vengeance, and it will only be sated by the blood of the murderous and barbaric Lord Purvis.
