About this book
In a kingdom where magic is outlawed, Alex discovers her talent with a deck of Enchanted cards that can reveal the present and what may come. When strange hauntings stir and enchanters are targeted, she’s drawn into a daring quest to protect the very magic others fear. Fast-paced adventure, clever world-building, and a dash of humor (think soggy-wizard mishaps) make this an exciting read. Great for middle-grade fantasy fans who like brave heroes, secret powers, and high-stakes mysteries.
Setting: the city of Luma and its surrounding kingdom where enchantment is outlawed
