A cursed little girl. A stolen boy. Time is running out.

When her brother is kidnapped, Cassie Goodlight is determined to save him-even if it means learning the magic that almost destroyed her mother.

But how do she beat a shape-shifting sea goblin that taunts her at every convert? Cassie must discover a way before a year is definitely up or her sibling will be dropped forever.

And who, or what, may be the handsome stranger who keeps arriving in her existence?
