Fifteen years ago, an enigmatic explosion shook the small Oregon town of Dorena, instigating global shock and an intriguing mystery as the door opened for people worldwide to learn thaumaturgy, a strain of magic. Although the cause of the explosion remains undetermined, thaumaturgy grows into a science in its own right, with lectures offered and degrees awarded in prestigious universities around the globe.
	Lillian is an atypically young physics student at the University of Oregon at Dorena, struggling to balance her intellect with her youthful appearance and grappling to learn the basics of thaumaturgy while those around her seem to thrive. When she receives a pair of mysterious visitors, she is abruptly plunged into the intricate mystery surrounding the explosion, discovering profound secrets about herself with the help of a small group of investigators from the Department for the Investigation of Anomalous Occurrences.
	The investigation leads them to inquire into the unexplained death of a young vagrant while in police custody forty years ago. What Lillian and the DIAO soon uncover could shake the very foundations of thaumaturgy- for the vagrant's look-alike appears to be wrapped up in the mystery.
	As Lillian's path collides with that of the enigmatic vagrant, she is forced to accept the truth about herself- a truth that could shake her place in the universe.
