Magestic Rain — Karen Householder

“In fairytales, frogs turn into princes, little boys never have to grow up, and ordinary girls become extraordinary with the wave of a wand. But this is not a fairytale.” By refusing to accept her untimely death, Emma's “earthly” family and friends have unknowingly pulled her back from Magestic and into a world in which she doesn't belong. Though her memories are vague and dreamlike at best, she knows what she must do -- stay alive. Without her Guardian, Simon, this is no simple task. Sheltering her friendship with Sarah and working to master her clumsy and disastrous powers, all while keeping up her GPA as a seemingly ordinary senior at Greenville High, isn't easy either. But when Mark returns from his summer in Alaska with a newfound need to protect her, things get really complicated. He seems to have picked up a few of Simon's characteristics, and when he appears as the main event in her dreams, she realizes it is more than just coincidence. As Emma struggles to balance the light and darkness she discovers within herself, she begins to understand the legend of Princess Magdon; Peace and harmony, and death and destruction shall rest delicately on her fingertips. And when the King's secret is finally revealed, she is left with one question: Will she be the one to save the universe, or destroy it?
