"Seraphina Knight is destined for nothing. Vega Halcyon burnt her destiny to a crisp. Magic is disappearing from the world. The Fae and Mortal Realms are drawing away from each other, the tether between them fraying every minute. The magic-starved creatures of the Mortal Realm have begun to venture out of their hiding places and into the nonmagical parts of the world. Kelpies frolic, bloodthirsty in the surf; the shadows of former nymphs hunt through miasmic forests; ghouls suck souls dry in their homes. After stopping her mother from becoming a ghoul-eaten husk, Vega refuses to stand by and watch any longer. As the prophecy foretold, to return magic to the Mortal Realm, the vessel of darkness must be emptied; but Vega’s father, head of the largest coven of witches in the world, has forbidden anyone within the coven to find this vessel. Magic's disappearance will cause the deaths of almost all magical creatures, yet her father doesn't seem to care. In fact, he seems to want it. A former foster kid with a part-time job at Starbucks, Sera believes she can't escape her future of being a burden on everyone around her. But then Vega, a girl with a chronically bad attitude, tells her she is the key to saving the world--that her unique ability to sense dark magic is what can stop thousands of creatures she didn't even know existed from dying. With this power comes the question of whether she can become a savior instead of a burden--and whether she wants to"--Back cover.
