In the modern nation of Euryma, magic is as common as bottled water. Witches and wizards lead normal lives, using extraordinary powers to do ordinary things. Here, everyone can do magic. Almost everyone.
Seventeen-year-old Declan Moore knows he’s not the chosen one. While his friends apply to magical colleges and promising futures, Declan is left to be the school groundsman’s apprentice. His only wish is an inkling of power to escape the disappointment of being a LAMP—one Lacking All Magical Potential.
Then the world falls apart. Overnight, thousands of witches and wizards vanish from their homes, leaving the non-magical populace to pick up the pieces. But as Declan searches for his parents, he discovers something he does not dare to believe. Declan isn’t helpless, he is dangerously powerful. And using that power to save his parents could kill them all.
