In Queen’s Creek, you’re either born with the Gift, or you work at it until you hone your Craft. Cate’s never had much luck with either.
Three years ago, Cate Corey left home and magic behind. Now, she’s a stressed college student and an underpaid barista.
It’s a blessedly normal life.
But when her father disappears while studying the magical boundary around Queen's Creek, Cate knows it's not an accident.
In a town hidden by illusions and protected by centuries of spells, it’s up to Cate to uncover the truth, and her own missing Gift might be the only clue. She’ll have to go back if she wants answers, but going home now might mean giving up her normal life.
For good.
