<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>An instant <i>New York Times </i>bestseller!</b> <p/><b>"Will keep you guessing until the last page." --Cinda Williams Chima, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author</b> <p/><b>A girl travels back in time to find a mysterious book that could save her future in Lisa Maxwell's "splendid series opener" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>).</b> <p/><i>Stop the Magician.<br> Steal the book.<br> Save the future.</i> <p/>In modern-day New York, magic is all but extinct. The remaining few who have an affinity for magic--the Mageus--live in the shadows, hiding who they are. Any Mageus who enters Manhattan becomes trapped by the Brink, a dark energy barrier that confines them to the island. Crossing it means losing their power--and often their lives. <p/>Esta is a talented thief, and she's been raised to steal magical artifacts from the sinister Order that created the Brink. With her innate ability to manipulate time, Esta can pilfer from the past, collecting these artifacts before the Order even realizes she's there. And all of Esta's training has been for one final job: traveling back to 1902 to steal an ancient book containing the secrets of the Order--and the Brink--before the Magician can destroy it and doom the Mageus to a hopeless future. <p/>But Old New York is a dangerous world ruled by ruthless gangs and secret societies, a world where the very air crackles with magic. Nothing is as it seems, including the Magician himself. And for Esta to save her future, she may have to betray everyone in the past. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Readers will likely hit the final page wishing for more...vivid and compelling." --BCCB </br></br>"The pacing, suspense, and twisting plot will keep teen readers interested and longing for more." --School Library Connection </br></br>"A doorstopper with a total shakeup of an ending: don't miss this splendid series opener."--Kirkus Reviews </br></br>"A gorgeous, timeless, all-consuming tale."--Wendy Higgins, New York Times bestselling author of the Sweet Evil series </br></br>"A twisty, spellbinding romp.
