"Plenty of fast-paced action with a gentle feel . . . a sweet and thoroughly researched story with a firm moral grounding."-Kirkus Reviews

Twelve-year-old Georgia assumed she would one day be the last Restorationist protecting art from evil forces. So she was thrilled when her cousin Vincent finally joined the family calling.

But Vincent's flashier Gift makes Georgia feel like a sidekick rather than a hero. And things only get more complicated and perilous after he willingly steps into the heart of danger.

Will the remnants of the Restorationists' society fracture under the pressure of the Distortionists' schemes? Or is Georgia's Gift really enough to rescue her family, the art world, the Restorationists-and ultimately save the day?
