Read on and preorder today!

• More of the Supernatural World– In Amari’s first summer camp, her experience with the Supernatural World was limited to the halls of the Bureau, where she trained hard to earn her spot within the Department of Supernatural Investigations. But now as a Junior Agent, Amari’s able to go out into the field and experience for herself the strange and fantastic ways the Supernatural World and the Known World blend together. You and Amari get to meet a host of weird and wonderful new supernaturals!
• Learn More About Magicians– One of the biggest surprises from the first book was Amari learning that she’s a magician, a human with off-the-charts levels of magic. It’s too bad that magicians also happen to be the sworn enemies of the supernatural world. Amari might’ve proved last summer that magicians have the potential to do good, but now she’ll need to keep proving it. The best way to do that is learn how to control her magic. But the more Amari learns, the more she’ll want to test her limits. And the Foul Magicks have tempted far more experienced magicians than she…
• A New Mystery and a New Threat– Disaster strikes the Supernatural World, and no one knows what caused it. But, as usual, magicians like Amari are being blamed for it. Amari will have to team up with an unlikely partner to figure out who’s really behind the catastrophe. And she’d better hurry, because the new Head Minister carries an ancient grudge against magiciankind, and he’s already set his sights on Amari Peters.
• The Great Game– As if Amari didn’t have enough on her plate trying to solve the mystery back at the Bureau, she’ll also find herself drawn into the secret world of the League of Magicians. They demand Amari participate in a competition that will send her to the far reaches of the Supernatural World, to demonstrate what it takes to be a proper magician. If she can win the Great Game, then she’ll be granted the power to end her brother’s terrible sleeping curse. But it also means surviving against trials far more dangerous than any tryout back at the Bureau. This deadly game can only have one winner.
• The Return of an Old Foe– Things are seldom as they appear in the Supernatural World, and that means enemies that seem defeated may not stay defeated…
