A Southern single mom must save her otherworldly family in this thrilling fantasy from the author of Blackbird Summer and Forget Me Not.

When last summer left her broken by a monster and abandoned by the man she trusted, Delia Caibre pulled herself up and vowed to never let anyone hurt her--or those she loves--again. So when Thomas Richard shows up, begging forgiveness and flashing his hundred-watt-smile, Delia lets him know that it will take more than dimples and promises to win her back.

Besides, raising her daughter, Genevieve--whose Gift is rare and stronger than anyone in the magical Caibre family--leaves little room for things like dating. But Thomas is persistent. And cute . . . and it would be nice to feel carefree and nineteen.

Until a masked man from her past wields a Curse that leaves Delia's beloved sister on her deathbed and makes off with Genevieve. It will take the most powerful in the Caibre family to put things right. But bringing her broken family together may prove impossible, even if not doing so means their destruction.

Praise for Em Shotwell and Blackbird Summer

"It's unbelievable when you get dropped into an Em Shotwell world. As a writer myself, I must tell you that this is one of the biggest compliments I can give."--Randi Perrin, award-winning author of Spar

"Small town meets X-Men . . . If you love small towns, romance, and mystery sprinkled with a little bit of magical realism then what are you waiting for?"--Dea Poirier, author of the Calderwood Cases series
