An instant New York Times bestseller! Two rival apprentice sorcerers must team up to save
their teachers and protect their own magic in this “charming and engaging” ( School Library
Journal ) young adult romantic adventure from the author of In Deeper Waters and So This Is
Ever After . Edison Rooker isn’t sure what to expect when he enters the office of Antonia Hex
the powerful sorceress who runs a call center for magical emergencies. He doesn’t have much
experience with hexes or curses. Heck he doesn’t even have magic. But he does have a plan—to
regain the access to the magical world he lost when his grandmother passed. Antonia
is…intimidating but she gives him a job and a new name—Rook—both of which he’s happy to
accept. Now all Rook has to do is keep his Spell Binder an illegal magical detection device
hidden from the Magical Consortium. And contend with Sun the grumpy and annoyingly cute
apprentice to Antonia’s rival colleague Fable. But dealing with competition isn’t so bad as
Sun seems to pop up more and more Rook minds less and less. But when the Consortium gets
wind of Rook’s Spell Binder they come for Antonia. All alone Rook runs to the only other
magical person he knows: Sun. Except Fable has also been attacked and now Rook and Sun have no
choice but to work together to get their mentors back…or face losing their magic forever.
