About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with a sense of displacement or the feeling that their natural talents are being stifled by circumstances outside their control. It is an ideal choice for a young adult who feels like an outsider in their current environment or is navigating a high-conflict relationship with a sibling. The story follows Seraphina, a young woman stripped of her magical identity and thrust into a modern world she does not understand. Through her journey, the book explores profound themes of resilience, the pain of familial betrayal, and the courage required to rebuild one's life from scratch. While it contains romantic elements and fantasy peril, the core of the story focuses on Seraphina's internal strength and her ability to form new, healthy bonds after being hurt by those closest to her. It is a supportive read for teens who need to see that losing one's 'power' is not the end of one's story.
