Aislynne lost everything- her mother to sickness, her father to the never ending debt of those medical expenses, and a home from the world that stopped feeling safe long ago. She never meant to find the miracle village nestled between the mountains. All she has left is her five-year-old sister, Alannah, and the promise that she'll never let anything hurt her again. She wasn't searching for magic. Just a safe place. But when Julieta Madrigal offers her healing food and a place to rest, what they find instead is a family unlike any they've ever known. Aislynne finds herself drawn into a world of a moving house, glowing doors... and a boy who is loud where she's quiet. Warm where she's guarded. And somehow-he sees through the walls she's spent years building. In a town built on magic, Aislynne has none.
But when he smiles at her and says, "You're magic too,"
...she almost believes him.
