About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with the pressure of high expectations or feeling like an underachiever compared to their peers. It is a perfect fit for the child who takes on too much responsibility for their family and needs to see that their worth isn't defined by what they can do for others. The story follows Tamsin, a girl born without magic in a world full of it, as she ventures into the cursed ruins of Avalon to break a family curse and find her missing guardian. Through Tamsin's journey, the book explores deep themes of resilience, the burden of sibling protection, and the courage it takes to trust others when you have been let down. While it contains some dark imagery and intense action suited for ages 14 and up, it offers a powerful narrative about finding one's own internal spark when you feel invisible.
