Description

Tamsin Greene comes from a long line of witches and was proclaimed to be one of the most Talented among them at birth. However, her magic never manifested. Now seventeen, she attends a boarding school in Manhattan, where she tries to lead a normal life. But during the summers, she returns home to work at her family's bookstore/magic shop. One night, a handsome young professor mistakes her for her Talented older sister, and Tamsin agrees to find a lost family heirloom for him. The search and the stranger turn out to be more sinister than they first appeared, ultimately sending Tamsin on a treasure hunt through time that will unlock the secret of her true identity, unearth her family's past sins, and unleash a powerful and vengeful force that could destroy them all. This fantasy, interweaving witchcraft, romance, and time travel, is a spellbinding display of storytelling that will exhilarate, enthrall, and thoroughly enchant.
