Cassandra Gilligan is having the worst Counterparts Day of all time: Her CP, the person meant to mentor her through the horribleness that is adolescence, is missing. Instead of getting a file and a field trip to go visit her CP, Cassie is handcuffed and dragged away by a woman in black.
The test that each twelve-year-old takes is supposed to pair them with someone who can help them grow, but something else happened when Cassie took hers. The people who grabbed Cassie know something about her that even she doesn't, and she isn't about to let it stay that way.
The world fell to its knees when magic was discovered. The strange source of energy attached itself to a fraction of the worlds population, who named themselves Spellbinders. Even though the power was a marvel and inspiring to see fiction come to life, many Spellbinders used their powers to cause chaos and destruction. It wasn't long before they were able to topple governments and turn the world into a wasteland.
What was left of the old world's military and those who hated magic, banded together to form the Dispersion to fight back. After decades of wars, the world came to a time period called The Settling. Spellbinders were hidden among the everyday people and the Dispersion enforced the laws of what towns remained.
Graham Moon was a son of a retired Dispersion soldier and now farmer. His father continued to hate magic, but Graham was indifferent. One day on their newly acquired land, Graham was about to find out that magic had plans for him.
