Scarlett Gardner has just finished university and relocated to London, ready to start her new life. On the surface, she's just like any other young woman-working at a museum and spending time with her friends-but beneath that normal exterior, something extraordinary is brewing. Ever since her last birthday, the strange, magical quirks she experienced as a child have become more frequent and harder to ignore. After her apartment is broken into, Scarlett begins to suspect that something far more dangerous is at play. By the time she uncovers who's really after her, it's too late. Scarlett is thrust into a fight for her life, navigating not only the challenges of adulthood but the uncomfortable truth that she's not like everyone else. Along the way, she must learn to master her emerging powers, all while balancing the complexities of modern life-her career, her relationships, and her friendships. In the end, Scarlett's unique gifts may bring her more than she ever imagined-if she can survive long enough to embrace them.
