Pick a card, any card.

Eli has loved magic - the pick-a-card, any-card kind - for as long as he can remember. The talented young magician is forced to leave home and attend a private school in Salem, Massachusetts-the most notable location in the history of witchcraft. Once there, he's shocked to learn of the hand fate has dealt him. Magic - far greater than any parlor trick - lies within him, waiting to be unleashed.

But Eli isn't the only one eager to tap into that power.

His potential has caught the attention of another, one with sinister intentions and a cruel plan. Witches begin disappearing, with Eli's own father and sister as victims. What this has to do with him, Eli has yet to uncover.

Now, to prevent anyone else from getting hurt, Eli must learn to harness the magic within him... before his lurking enemy can claim it as their own.
