Julie was born into the prestigious Melton family, blessed from birth with a unique Mage Gift. Every member of her prominent family has their own Mage Gift, leading to special talents and capabilities that ordinary humans couldn’t dream of. However, Julie’s world is turned upside-down when a member of her family is murdered. Even worse, she’s considered a suspect!

In an effort to clear her family’s name and track down the real killer, Julie works with Inspector Russell Gaines, a talented detective with a Mage Gift of his own.

It turns out that Julie has her own secrets that could lead to the downfall of her entire family if word got out. The fragile inspector suffers a downward spiral, leaving Julie to fight for justice on her own. Will she be able to solve the mystery without putting the rest of her family in jeopardy?
