Teodora di Sangro is used to hiding her magical ability to transform enemies into music boxes and mirrors. Nobody knows she's a strega—and she aims to keep it that way.
The she meets Cielo—and everything changes.
A strega who can switch outward form as effortlessly as turning a page in a book Cielo shows Teodora what her life could be like if she masters the power she's been keeping secret. And not a moment too soon: the ruler of Vinalia has poisoned the patriarchs of the country's five controlling families including Teodora's father and demands that each family send a son to the palace.
If she wants to save her family Teodora must travel to the capital—not disguised as a boy but transformed into one. But the road to the capital and to bridling her powers is full of enemies and complications including the one she least expects: falling in love.
