Of Charms & Chance

THELONIA ROOKWOOD IS CURSED WITH UNLUCKINESS. Literally.

Cursed with bad luck at a young age, Thea is a black mark on the Rookwood family tree. To save themselves from any further embarrassment, Ma and Pa Rookwood cart Thea off to The Academy of The Arts as a last ditch effort to coax out "The Touch"- the magical ability to produce powerful charms that the Rookwood's are infamous for. But her curse strikes again and, banished from The Academy with only the clothes on her back, Thea sets off to find the one sorcerer who can end this hex. If only she can just convince an enigmatic and mysterious thief and his small trio of nomads, the last people rumoured to know the sorcerer's location, to help her find the way.

Yet something more sinister is rumbling in the distance as an ancient evil reawakens. And Thea's ragtag crew may have a bigger part to play than any of them could have ever imagined.
