They claim I have magic. Yeah… right.

But when I touch someone, they feel better—I’m left drained.

At six-foot-four, I already stand out. Then I’m tested and accepted into Saguaro Academy for Sciences and Arts—only to find out it’s actually a school for magic. Not the ‘pick a card’ kind. The real kind. The dangerous kind.
I just want to fit in with the other girls, but I don’t even know if magic is real—let alone if I have it. I ace my classes, but Magic 101? Total disaster. Worse, something dark stirs beneath the academy’s polished halls, and I’m the only one who feels it. It’ll devour everyone here and in the nearby city when it grows strong enough.

To stop it, I must embrace a power I don’t understand or believe in. Because if I fail?

I won’t just lose myself—I’ll lose everything.
