Fifteen year old Alice Ashby thinks her life is over when her parents move her from her perfect life in London to the middle of nowhere. Soon, however, Alice is drawn into an underground world of magic and secrets. She finds herself drawn further to the reckless and arrogant Lucien, and his strange abilites, the way he can produce beautiful things from thin air, and the dreams he keeps walking into. Right under Alice's feet is a place she never imagined, a mystery centuries old, ripe for revolution and disorder.
