Dru Jasper is the bookish owner of The Crystal Connection, a Denver shop that sells potions, charms, and enchanted crystals to help sorcerers fight the forces of darkness. When a magic carpet goes out of control, can Dru save her friends — before the runaway carpet whisks them away forever?

This short story takes place before the earth-shaking first book in the Dru Jasper series, IT HAPPENED ONE DOOMSDAY.
