Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Graci Kim's debut novel about an adopted Korean-American girl, Riley Oh, who discovers her heritage and her magic on a perilous journey to save her witch clan family. Riley, a non-magical saram, feels like an outsider in her family of healing witches. Her sister, Hattie, suggests a spell that could allow Riley to share her magic, but when the spell goes wrong, it endangers Hattie's life. To save her sister, Riley must embark on a quest to find the last fallen star, encountering fantastic creatures and uncovering secrets that challenge her beliefs about witchcraft, family, and belonging.
