Saint lives on an island where she does yoga in the clouds, listens to a cozy fire recite poetry, and chats with friendly latte art. Her days surrounded by cheerful magic would be perfect except she can’t leave.

Nevermore is a magic family in New York City that runs this island to choose the best witches and wizards to join them. That’s definitely not Saint because her cat’s haunted tail casts spells better than her. There are no teachers here, so Saint duels her new friends to discover elegant magic. She has to learn fast because if Nevermore doesn’t choose her, they’ll trap her soul inside a crystal ball forever. But she’ll need more than great spells to get out alive because this island is full of dark mysteries and wicked spirits. Worst of all, Saint’s own mother is in grave danger as she secretly fights Nevermore from the inside.

The Titanic sails by, and Saint is so desperate to escape that she wants to hop on board. But it’s just a ghost. A charming wizard tells her the only way to save her mom is to steal Nevermore’s most powerful wand. If Saint steals the wand, she might awaken a sleeping dragon and wish that she’d taken her chances on the ghostly Titanic. But if she gets caught, Saint will see her loved ones...nevermore.
