There are three types of magic-or three KNOWN types of magic. Standard Magic, Household Magic, and Nature Magic. 13 is the year of testing for all children. They take three tests, one for each kind of magic, to see what they are. Their parents then decide what to do with them. Alija (a le HA) , Mikalo (mi kuh LO), and Kai (Ki) are 13. They must go through the tests. None of them test positive for having any kind of magic, but all of them have experienced magic before coming from them. Follow them on their journey to find their magic-and to rewrite what magic is capable of.
Cara grew up in an orphanage and she is tired of living in that old house. For 10 years, she stayed there without a clue who her real parents were. She has a vague memory of her past. She remembers waking up one day at the orphanage but can't remember any other thing even her name. Cara is the name given to her at the orphanage. No one came or claimed to be her family. All she had was a locket that could be the key to her past. When she turned sixteen, something strange started to happen, things she couldn't explain. When she ran away, she met a person who would introduce her to a world she never knew existed, a world where legend and magic becomes real. Cara's ancestry can be traced back to the 15th century and her role in fulfilling the prophecy as the lost descendant is something she has never imagined.
