Description

Three sisters are hiding a magical secret.
One thinks she imagined it. One wishes she could forget it. And the other was left behind.

As children, three wayward sisters—wandering the grounds of the family’s mysterious seaside hotel in Northern California, on the day of the yearly masquerade—discover (and steal) a highly desirable and expensive book . . . and accidentally fall into another, more magical world. At least, two sisters—the oldest stays behind, to her regrets and terrors—and when the two younger reappear, they are full of a fantastical and dangerous story.

As adults–the sisters have grown apart and estranged, and only one remembers the truth; and the regret of never taking chances (and having hidden the book in an impossible place where she can’t be tempted to try).

But Meg, Agatha and Ellery are in a race against a dangerous enigmatic group, trying desperately to recover the book (and unlock the secrets of its pages)—before time is up.

This is a compelling and lyrical tale of sisterhood, betrayal, conspiracy and a powerful magic – woven around and into our everyday world.
