Eighty-eight-year-old twins, Anna and Bea, are desperate to find a young woman to challenge Helene, the Keeper Of Magic, for her leadership role in their twelve-hundred-year-old feminine tradition. While everyone is certain sixteen-year-old Julie Mayden is perfect for the job, all "Mayden" knows is that Magic must be real if there are suddenly two amazing great-grandsons for her to chose from. Michael is beautiful, smart, and a natural with Magic while Jake is rugged and devoted, wanting only to be the Protector he was born to be. As Mayden's initiation unfolds and her relationships develop, she finds herself pitted against the dark and powerful Helene, who has no intention of welcoming an outsider. Swept up in a world of mystical forces, family rivalries, and shapeshifting great-grandmothers, Mayden is taught to harness her power and prepare for the challenge of her life. Layer upon layer of mystical secrets are unveiled, leading to a Magical showdown of epic proportions. Yet what Mayden chooses to do with her newfound gift has even Anna and Bea reeling, wondering if goodness can possibly prevail as these three young people rise to take their place in the legendary Bayless Clan.
