Meanwhile, a powerful magician named Moreau lays siege to the supernatural world with human-monster hybrids in pursuit of a powerful dark object. Hoping to find clues about her brother’s disappearance, Amari accepts the nomination-but when she is identified as a magician, an illegal designation, she’s as much of an outcast in the supernatural world as she was in her ordinary one.

Twelve-year-old Amari Peters, a Black girl from the low-income housing projects, struggles to fit in as the only scholarship student at the prestigious Jefferson Academy, where her peers bully her because of her race and her social class.
