Nearly two years have passed since the magic died. Twelve year-old orphan Aubrey Arthur is the only source of magic left in a world once teeming with enchantment, and that has made her an unwilling beacon to the world's few surviving magical creatures. A giant with the body of a man and the head of a horse, a goblin who eats nightmares, a beautiful forest spirit who looks human except for her long cow's tail. These refugees, and more, have come from all across the globe to gather at her isolated Louisiana home. Some are peaceful, some are dangerous. Others are just plain hungry. When a remnant of the most evil witch in history shows up on her doorstep, though, Aubrey must decide whether all survivors are truly welcome at the safe haven she's created. Things are complicated by the arrival of a mysterious, sword-wielding intruder who seems intent on driving the magical refugees away, and a new girl at school named Zora--who may end up being the biggest threat of all.
