Pub date: September 1, 2011
ISBN: 978-1927154137
Genre: YA fantasy

Description: Angel doesn't remember her magical heritage...but it remembers her.

Start with a struggle revolving around the source of magic. Is it genetic--or is it part of your soul? What if someone was using his powers to run experiments based on a complete misconception of the source of magic?

Throw in a twisted family tree that's rooted in a centuries' old feud, a painting that (literally) holds the key to the truth, a mysterious and talkative beetle, and an Elven rocker who can play the songs of the stars on an electric guitar.
This is the world Angel Mason was born into, thrust out of, and returned to seven years later. To top it off, she must rediscover her identity and save her home from a madman at the same time.

OK, I requested this one today. I see that at my library they won't purchase things that are more than 2 years old, so as advice for anyone else, this is one to request quickly in case your library has a similar policy. :)

Yeah, I think that may be an issue at quite a few libraries, which is really unfair to indies, since it takes us a while to prove our books' worth. Catch-22...

My library bought it! I hope others are requesting this title as well. Good luck!
