What if the family you never knew was the only thing that could save you?
Fifteen-year-old Izzie's only goal is to protect her twin brother from their abusive mother. But when a monstrous seal-cat chimera crashes into her school and a group of magic-wielding brothers from Clan XXS intervene, she's offered an escape she can't refuse. One where she has to leave her twin behind.
Desperate to convince the XXS brothers to help rescue her twin, she finds herself and other magic users hunted by Nemesis, a seemingly heroic clan that uses deadly hybrids, red-skinned Dehumans, and mind-controlling butterflies to wipe out those like her.
Now suddenly caught between warring magical clans, Izzie discovers she's part of a legacy she barely remembers. Something taken from her and her family long ago. Something with feathers.As the final battle looms, Izzie must unravel a web of lies and choose who to trust before the Clans massacre each other-and with them, her only chance to reunite with the family she thought she'd lost forever.
Perfect for fans of 'Wings of Ebony' by J. Elle; 'Blood Debts' by Terry J. Benton-Walker; or 'Silver in the Bone' by Alexandra Bracken- Magic's Escape: Wingless is a fast-paced, emotionally rich urban fantasy about finding light in darkness-and the siblings who won't let go. This is the first book in a duology.
- Dual perspectives: Izzie and occasionally Mike (the eldest of the XXS brothers)
- No romance (It's a character-driven survival fantasy focusing on family, friendship, and loyalty)
- Explores rising from trauma, resilience, and finding your own strength
- Emotional depth without graphic content-ideal for ages 11-15
- Unique supernatural hybrids, clans, and mind-controlling butterflies
- Written by a teen for teens and tweens
...Magic's Escape: Wingless is waiting.
This is only the beginning. Survival is just the first step.
