The Magician's Test — Daphne James Huff

Before the Destruction, Dreamers had very different lives. A Dreamer in the 1920s has found success as a medium, hiding her abilities behind parlor tricks. Her young assistant suspects that she must be more than she claims to be, while the great Houdini is out to expose mediums as frauds. Will she keep her true talent a secret, or share it and risk losing everything she's worked for? The first short story in the Dreamers Through Time series, all taking place before the events in I Dream of Fire. Historical fiction with a paranormal twist.
