Synopsis
Fifteen-year-old Reason Cansino has learned the painful truth that she, like her mother, her grandmother and her new friends Tom and Jay-Tee, must make a choice: to use the magic that lives in her blood and die young, or refuse to use the magic and lose her mind. Now a new threat leaves Reason stranded alone in New York City, struggling to control a power she barely understands. But could the danger she faces also hold the key to saving her life? The second book of the trilogy.
