"There are strange things in this world. Whether or not you encounter them sometimes depends on where you are."
August is as average as they come, overshadowed by his brother and ignored by his distracted parents. When his mom gets a job working for the elusive multi-billionaire, Jans Yvexa, August is transported from his California home to the secretive small town of Cinderpoint, Idaho. For the first time, August has friends, and everything starts looking up - until Halloween night. A terrifying incident leaves August's world in pieces, as he struggles to come to terms with the existence of magic - and the war his friends have to face. August is left with a choice between keeping his comfortable life, or following his friends and losing that life forever.
