Together with five new friends—Sydney, Zoey, Dominique, Amber, and Nia;

Hannah uncovers a hidden realm of fairies, shadowy powers, and ancient magic

that’s been entwined with her life in ways she never imagined. As the Mystic

series—a blend of modern fantasy, friendship, mystery, and courage that will

resonate with readers who believe in the magic of new beginnings, the power of

sisterhood, and the strength that comes from facing the darkness together.

Want More Secrets...

When she was a little girl, the unthinkable changed and shattered Hannah Sumpter’s life when her older Caroline mysteriously disappeared. Now sixteen, Hannah struggled to leave the pain of her past behind when she and her family moved from Chicago to Avalon, Missouri. On the outside, Avalon is a serene yet bustling and vibrant city and suburb with friendly people, great schools, and a welcoming environment. But on the inside of this idyllic city, Avalon is a hidden world of fairies, a magical realm that coexists in secret, unseen by humans before it officially became a city. During her first day at Avalon High, Hannah makes friends with almost everyone – including Sydney Barnes, Zoey Park, Dominque Guerra-Arias, Amber Dodge, and Nia Washington — but she quickly clashes with reigning mean girl, Heather Barringer. When the six girls discover the enchanting but mysterious Avalon Forest, they unwittingly get caught in the middle of an ancient battle between good and evil. At the center of the conflict is Vivia, ruler of the Dark Kingdom, and her dark fairy clan.

Bolstered with new magic powers and fairy wings, Hannah and her friends must navigate the fairy world while trying to protect themselves from an enemy determined to destroy them. As they struggle with their new powers, they’ll have to balance their new friendship with the strange magic that binds them and face a fight that could change everything......
