Secrets. Half-truths. Lies.
For seventeen years, Amy Corbett has been deceived. After the jarring events in "Ordinary World" (from the Portals anthology), her life was turned upside down. Now she wants answers. Answers about her past. Why didn't her mother clue her into the truth about her father? And why keep her heritage as a witch quiet?
Reluctantly accepting the changes forced upon her, Amy's trying to embrace her 'new' self. One thing is certain: being a witch is hard work. Frustrated by her inability to grasp a simple spell, she soon learns from a mysterious new guy about an obscure society of magic users called mavericks. They've been shunned for not 'fitting in.'
Finding out more about the mavericks isn't easy when information about them is restricted. Her curiosity piqued, Amy wonders if that secret group has the answers she wants. Maybe she'll find a place among them where she truly belongs.
There's no place like home? Sometimes, Amy discovers, there are alternatives.
