"Magic exists, the system is calling, and my birthday is officially ruined."
Victoria Leighton has only had four birthdays.
Born on February 29th, she's sixteen years old but has only celebrated on her actual birthday four times. She's learned to hold things loosely — expectations, the idea that anything in her life will go according to plan. This year is no different. Her father is in the hospital. A bully is making school unbearable. And a mysterious blue screen just interrupted her fourth birthday to inform her she's heir to an ancient Atlantean legacy.
She has five days until prom.
Five days to learn magic, survive the monsters slipping through the weakening barriers around San Antonio, and figure out what it means to be the Sorceress of a city that doesn't know it needs one.
But the monsters aren't the hardest part. The hardest part is finding out that the power she's been given comes with a history nobody told her about — and siblings she never knew existed.
The System has been calling her name her whole life.
She just couldn't hear it yet.
Perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Travis Baldree, and readers who want their magic with a side of family secrets.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
