The Far West

A journey to the Far Western frontier leads to a dangerous discovery for a young magician and her powerful twin in this young adult historical fantasy. 

An expedition to map the Far West is too much of an adventure to resist for Eff. Who would have thought that the thirteenth child—a woman who grew up believing she was cursed—would discover her own unique magic and earn an invite to travel farther than anyone else she knows! Journeying alongside her powerful twin brother, Lan, and her magical mentors, Eff discovers the wild frontier is nothing like she expected. There are creatures she's never encountered and after a too-long winter on the prairie, an epic flood is in the making. If Eff and Lan don't work fast to stop the deluge from happening, the territory she calls home—and the fantastic Great Barrier Spell at its edge—will be forever transformed. . . .
