Description
Quinn Sullivan, fresh from his first year of college, returns to his summer job working at at an off-season ski resort on the North Shore of Minnesota. This isn't just any resort though; it's a resort for those imbued with metaphysikal powers -- what some might call "wizards."Like most college students in the 80s, Quinn has no car, no money, and no plans for the future. Unlike most mages his age, however, he isn't keeping up on his spellwork, still ties his shoes by hand, and has fallen for a meta-user way out of his league; an alchemist named Emma.Emma is outgoing and smart, with a seemingly endless supply of social skills -- none of which is exactly in Quinn's wheelhouse. The only thing she doesn't have is the rare metaphysikal artifact she needs to get into the Alnwick Academy of Alchemy.Okay, so maybe Quinn has one plan.Chock full of strange creatures, mystifying spells, and small town mystery, Quinn's quest to impress Emma is a classic summer story with a fantasy twist -- and that's just the easy part.* * * * *"An achingly sharp look back at growing friendships and budding romance in a magical time that never was (the enchanted '80s) but you wish could have been. as if J.K. Rowling had written Stand By Me -- or Stephen King had written Harry Potter -- set on the shores of Lake Superior." -- Matt Forbeck, Author of Vegas Knights
