Hey, reader! A heyday for you! If you ever catch a glimpse of this novel, this is my first work. I soon hope to be writing more for you and be that buddy. Hope you enjoy :)

Rhiannon Parker is a normal 15-year-old girl.

Or so her father has led her to believe. To everyone around her, and to herself, she's just like any other girl living in New York. She attends a public school, goes to nightclubs and coffee shops with her best friends Saskia and Victor, is raised by a single father, and has financial problems. Just a normal teenager. Right?

But her entire world is shattered when her father disappears, leaving no trace that he ever even existed. The only proof is Rhia herself. And when she reports him missing, the police claim he never even existed.

Then she meets Abel, and strange, though endearing, white-haired boy who seems to have the answers to all her questions. Problem is, he can't, or won't, give them to her until she completes three tests to prove herself worthy. With her best friends Victor and Saskia, and the mysterious Abel, by her side, she emerges into a world of magic and chaos, of good and evil, that has been surrounding her all her life without her realizing it.

Will she be able to prove to Abel that she can do more than she believes she can? Will she find her father in time? And, most importantly, when it comes to it, will she know the difference between good and evil?
