noun /ˈtō-skə/ - Russian - a sensation of spiritual anguish, often without any cause In a world full of magic, anything that lacks the enchanting quality is seen as a threat or as a skill. Magicae run the world, but they don't stand a chance to the gan draiochta, the rare people without and immune to magic. When the country is under a threat that magic can't stop, three young women are asked to put an end to it. Esen, a self-trained thief and fighter, Xenia, the mercenary warrior, and Rosemary, an innocent, merchant's daughter, the three gan draiochta who support the fate of their country. Trust issues, hard pasts, and a charismatic enemy stand in their way. Will the three bind together to overcome the obstacles? Or does a fate far worse than anyone expected await?

Andy, short for Alexandria, has never really gotten along with her father. The main reason is that he never really wanted a daughter; the other reason, Andy wants to be a singer. She has a small band with some of her friends and is hoping to gain popularity, that way she can fulfill her end of their 'deal.' Andy is currently seventeen, but she made a deal with her father a few years ago, if she could join a band (or even just be a solo artist) and gain some popularity he would sign her to his company (yes, her father founded a huge recording label) and let her follow her dreams. There's a catch to this little deal though, one that Andy never knew about. She only has the summer before her senior year left to fulfill the deal, twist is she has to spend the entire summer under her father's roof. What will happen when her over-protective and demanding father forces Andy to spend the entire summer 'helping out' one of his top bands? And what happens when she starts falling for one of its members?
