A girl must hone her magical gifts to stop an evil force in the New York Times–bestselling author's sequel to Enchanter's Child: Twilight Hauntings.

In the first book of the Enchanter's Child duology, Alex discovered the truth: Not only does she possess magical powers but her father is Hagos RavenStarr, who was once the king's Enchanter.

Alex is pursued by the fiendish Twilight Hauntings, monstrous Enchantments created because a prophecy foretold the king's death at the hands of an Enchanter's Child. The Twilight Hauntings are designed to rid the land of all Enchanters and their children, but Alex has other ideas. But to destroy the Twilight Hauntings, she must find the very thing that created them—a magical talisman called the Tau.

In her search for the Tau, Alex enlists the reluctant help of her father and a strange assortment of characters along the way. As she travels, Alex hones her magical skills and learns that even family and friends can surprise her.
