She hates that uncontrollable levitation and fires are the least of her worries. But when Gwen's best friend Ellie is kidnapped by the fae, magic might be the only thing that can save her. Now Gwen must track Ellie through wild fae forests to the queen's castle, while learning to wield magic she inherited from the mother that abandoned her. For if Gwen can't harness her powers, Ellie will die in the Otherworld.
