Synopsis
In the third instalment of the Magic or Madness trilogy, the people Reason Cansino loves most are all in danger. Reason's mother, Sarafina, has disappeared from the mental hospital in Sydney with Reason's evil grandfather, Jason Blake. Jay-Tee, the closest thing Reason has to a best friend, has used all of her magic and faces death at any moment. And Reason, who is magic, is pregnant with the child of Jay-Tee's brother Danny, the magic's child of the title, while she struggles with the knowledge that if she uses the sword that gives her magical powers she will die before her child grows up. Only Reason can find the answers within her family's magic to save everyone who matters most to her.
