A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Graci Kim's thrilling debut
about an adopted Korean-American girl who discovers her heritage and her
magic on a perilous journey to save her witch clan family.
"Graci Kim does such an amazing job of blending Korean mythology into
the modern world, I am now wondering how I ever lived without knowing
all this cool information."--New York Times #1 best-selling author
Rick Riordan
Riley Oh can't wait to see her sister get initiated into the Gom clan, a
powerful lineage of Korean healing witches their family has belonged to
for generations. Her sister, Hattie, will earn her Gi bracelet and
finally be able to cast spells without adult supervision. Although Riley
is desperate to follow in her sister's footsteps when she herself turns
thirteen, she's a saram--a person without magic. Riley was adopted, and
despite having memorized every healing spell she's ever heard, she often
feels like the odd one out in her family and the gifted community.
Then Hattie gets an idea: what if the two of them could cast a spell
that would allow Riley to share Hattie's magic? Their sleuthing
reveals a promising incantation in the family's old spell book, and the
sisters decide to perform it at Hattie's initiation ceremony. If it
works, no one will ever treat Riley as an outsider again. It's a perfect
plan!
Until it isn't. When the sisters attempt to violate the laws of the
Godrealm, Hattie's life ends up hanging in the balance, and to save her
Riley has to fulfill an impossible task: find the last fallen star. But
what even is the star, and how can she find it?
As Riley embarks on her search, she finds herself meeting fantastic
creatures and collaborating with her worst enemies. And when she
uncovers secrets that challenge everything she has been taught to
believe, Riley must decide what it means to be a witch, what it means to
be family, and what it really means to belong.
