Mira walks through Mom's neighborhood on the island, sun streaming through the thick fog of Puget Sound. The lilacs smell heavenly and the morning feels glorious. Almost. Mira just got kicked out of her mentor's house. For being incompetent. A magical failure. She watches her sister's soul get snatched by two gruesome black dogs the size of bears. Her sister, taken by a massive golden eagle, tops off the morning. Mira must act. A coming of age fantasy set in a darkly magical world. The land of the Black Opal leaves you enthralled and enchanted.
