Can a secret be kept? Will friends protect friends? A growing prejudice against non-magic users threatens to destroy the peace forged hundreds of years ago.

Ember attends magic school after years of being homeschooled. Often ridiculed for not being great at magic, they shrug it off. Despite what their classmates think, Ember is confident in their abilities. When a school field trip to find midnight herbs reveals Ember's secrets to those around them, will it destroy years of trust?

Once Ember's family learns they've been outed, it's time to run. They've always moved on ... their secrets and safety are more important than where they live.

Meanwhile, there's a new movement spreading dissension and speaking of a divide between witches and non-magic users. If they stay, they can help those trying to bridge the gap. It's an old fight Ember's parents battled in the past. Can Ember convince their family to stay and resurrect peace from the ashes of fear and hate?
