The Adventure of the Missing Shadows (ePub)

On this side of the Unbroken Barrier, everyone has magic. Except me.

But even the magically blind can see the effects of the supernatural on the real world. My family of powerful mages taught me to spot the clues. Now I notice what everyone else misses.

In my world, everyone relies on magic to go through life, and they can overlook the strangest things. I can't see what they see. I have to look for what's really there. And there are mysteries at every street corner. The trouble is... I can't help sticking my nose when I run into something I can't explain.

My brother and my best friend used to help me untangle the magic behind my discoveries. And to get me out of trouble when necessary. For the first time, this week I'm on my own. I'm getting ready for the biggest opportunity of my life: an audition at the Bakirville National Opera. Not the best time to run around looking for the warlock who casts shady spells on the children in my neighborhood.

I'm no superhero. I don't even own a cape. But when the children's shadows start behaving strangely, I'm the only one who can face the shadowy danger.
