Magic Burned

Never do magic. Never even think about it. Not even once. Ever since Matilda’s mother moved them away from their hometown, these are the rules Matilda lives by—given to her through bedtime stories she only half believes. They are rules she thinks she’s mastered. Because... magic isn’t real after all.Then one day, the past returns and everything burns.Broken beyond repair and filled with the spark of magic, Matilda goes to live with her aunt in the woods. There she befriends monsters, learns dark spells, and tries to survive high school (plus a massive crush on her physical therapist).All the while, the evil that took everything from her promises it can give it back... for a price. But after Matilda’s already lost so much, what more could she have to give? And will she burn her world again, just for a chance to change her fate?
