Itâs a new star-crossed romance about the magic of first love from the acclaimed author of We Are the Ants and Brave Face, Shaun David Hutchinson.
Jack Nevinâs clever trickery and moral flexibility make him the perfect assistant to the Enchantress, one of the most well-known stage magicians in turn-of-the-nineteenth-century Europe. Without Jackâs steady supply of stolen tricks, the Enchantressâs fame would have burned out long ago.
But when Jackâs thievery catches up to them, theyâre forced to flee to America to find their fortune. Luckily, the Enchantress is able to arrange a set of sold-out shows at Seattleâs AlaskaâYukonâPacific Worldâs Fair Exposition. Sheâs convinced theyâre going to rich and famous until a new magician arrives on the scene. Performing tricks that defy the imagination, Laszloâs show overshadows the Enchantress, leaving Jack no choice but to hunt for the secrets to his otherworldly illusions. But what Jack uncovers isnât at all what he expected.
Behind Laszloâs tricks is Wilhelmâa boy that can seemingly perform real magic. Jack and Wilhelm have an instant connection, and as the rivalry between the Enchantress and Laszlo grows, so too does Jack and Wilhelmâs affection. But can Jack choose between the woman who gave him a life and the boy who is offering him everything?
Itâs a stirring tale about the magic of love from award-winning author Shaun David Hutchinson.
