I was swept away by this story. The magic and mystery were entrancing.

Pippin and her twin brother, Grey, live on the Outer Banks island of Devil’s Cove. Pippin has a rare gift.

In this story, Pippin needs to break the curse that has haunted her family for two thousand years. The story is original and deftly crafted with a wonderful blend of books and magic.
