The Other Half of Magic


A contemporary YA grounded speculative fiction story where two twins separated at birth must navigate family secrets, relationships, and magic to find where they belong in life. One twin has grown up around magic her entire life but doesn't possess the powers she wishes she did. The other twin has no idea what's been happening to her body all these years and is in search of answers, bringing her to the middle-of-nowhere town where the mother who abandoned her supposedly lives with her magic...and her secrets. Perfect for fans of the magical exploration in The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna and the Parent Trap concept found in Emma Lord's You Have a Match.
