When Kailani arrives in Greenwood, Mississippi, for her latest job, she knows she faces a daunting task. With her job at Abracadabra Inc. on the line, she determines to rise to the challenge.

But when she tries to find the magic shop she has been sent to investigate, she finds nothing but mysteries and mirage.

She worries her magic will prove insufficient to penetrate the deception. Until she realizes her magic might be the least of her fears.
