The Hidden Incantation

Alana Knotley is a liar.

She lies when she says she's a talented witch, because she's actually a snub - a witch born without any magical ability. She's two years younger than she says she is: sixteen, not eighteen. Her last name isn't even Knotley, it's Atlia. All these lies, however, have a purpose. Alana moved to New York City to fake her way through a prestigious apprentice program, all to prove to her father that she isn't as useless as he thinks she is.

But the world isn't all that it seems, and as Alana begins to expose the deception among the magical community, she learns a truth about herself that could destroy her entire family. When Alana finds herself in the center of the beginning of a war, how will she know which side to trust - especially if she can't even trust herself?
