An awkward wizard. An aspiring ballerina. And a dark god with a wicked vendetta.

Clyde Blitzkurr is devastated. Rejected by every reputable magic academy in the realm, this aspiring wizard resolves to make his sister’s dream come true. But things take a turn when a demon tries to kill him.

Aylee Blitzkurr’s deepest desire is at hand. Accepted to the most prestigious dance academy, this ballerina is a breath away from becoming a principal dancer. But when her brother’s life is threatened, and ghosts start leaving cryptic messages, fighting for Clyde’s wellbeing takes precedence.

The siblings uncover secrets connecting them to a vengeful god. Neither is safe. Clyde must grasp the untapped power he possesses. Aylee must face her darkest fears. If they do not, they will lose more than their lives … they will miss their destiny. And the realms are counting on them.

But when Cassidy disappears without a trace, something within Ainsleigh finally snaps. Drunk and bleeding out after a savage wolf attack, Ainsleigh is found by a mysterious stranger and learns that she’s not as stranded and alone as she feared.

Now Ainsleigh has three questions;
Where is Cassidy?
Can her secretive saviour really be trusted?
And why does whiskey taste so good?
