"Your daughter will be one of the most powerful we have ever seen in this family. She will be a beacon for us all."

Tamsin Greene comes from a long line of witches, and on the day she was born, her grandmother proclaimed she would be one of the most Talented among them.

But Tamsin's magic never showed up.

Now, seventeen years later, she spends most of her time at boarding school in Manhattan, where she can at least pretend to be normal. But during the summers, she's forced to return home and work at her family's bookstore/magic shop.

One night a handsome young professor from New York University arrives in the shop and mistakes Tamsin for her extremely Talented older sister. For once, it's Tamsin who's being looked at with awe and admiration, and before she can stop herself, she agrees to find a family heirloom for him that was lost more than a century ago. But the search - and the stranger - prove to be more sinister than they first appeared, ultimately sending Tamsin on a treasure hunt through time that will unlock the secret of her true identity, unearth the past sins of her family, and unleash a power so strong and so vengeful that it could destroy them all.

In a spellbinding display of storytelling, Carolyn MacCullough interweaves witchcraft, romance, and time travel in a fantasy that will exhilarate, enthrall, and thoroughly enchant.

tansin pertence a uma familia de bruxas onde ela é a unica que se sente inferior,diferente,uma decepção para aqueles que ama.ela nao acredita nao ter nenhum talendo como todos tem em sua familia.contudo o aparecimento de um misterioso homem,alistair,em busca de um objeto desaparecido ha muito tempo é o estopim para que ela descubra seu talento(ela é mais poderosa do que pensava) e tambem inicie-se uma intriga mortal pelo objeto.
nessa busca ela contará com o charmoso gabriel que pelo visto esta se tornando bem mais que um amigo.
