Description
On the western frontier, eighteen-year-old Eff has spent her life convinced she’s nothing but bad luck—until her rare heritage and rigorous training in Aphrikan magic reveal the truth: she isn’t cursed, she’s uniquely equipped. As dangerous magical creatures begin to threaten nearby settlements, Eff must step beyond fear and superstition to master the extraordinary power tied to her identity. Blending frontier adventure with spellcraft and sharp, character-driven humor, this story explores what it means to claim agency, redefine destiny, and turn stigma into strength. With Patricia C. Wrede’s lively, accessible style, Eff’s journey delivers a fast-moving, magical coming-of-age tale where courage is the real magic.
