Description
Fifteen-year-old,
late-bloomer Jean Elliott dreams of becoming a Genie like her mom. When
her family relocates to Tokyo, Jean is forced to use sleight-of-hand
tricks to fool everyone at school into believing that she’s a normal
Preternatural or risk expulsion. When her power finally appears, it
comes in the form of the Queen's Gift--an unspeakable magic that strips
power from all Preternaturals and heralds the arrival of the new queen.
After an absence of two hundred years, not everyone wants the monarchy to return and they're willing to go to great lengths to keep the status quo. When buried secrets rip Jean's family apart, she has a choice to make: Walk away and hope for the best or embrace the power that's known to lead to madness in order to save her family.
Jean's greatest dream has turned into her biggest nightmare and no matter how hard she tries, there'll be no wishing the Queen's Gift away.
