Only the Transcendent Pig knows, and it's not telling....

But Nita Callahan needs to find out, and soon, because there are important things in her life that are broken.

Her wizardly partnership with her best friend, Kit, has fallen apart. Much worse, her mother has gotten sick...so sick that she may never be able to leave the hospital. At least, not without a little magical intervention.

Nita could really use some wizardly assistance, but she can't turn to Kit - they're not speaking to each other, and anyway, he seems to have disappeared while walking his dog. And her sister, Dairine, is practically useless for this kind of magic.

Only one person can help Nita... The One she's devoted her life to fighting.
