When Mel Snow meets Toby Warring in a roadside bar, she is instantly drawn to the brilliant magician whose hands pull poker chips from thin air and conjure castles out of desert sands. They marry in the shadow of Las Vegas, where Toby hopes to make it big. Mel knows that magicians are a dime a dozen, but Toby is different - his magic is real. But as Toby's renown grows and Mel falls more in love with his wonderments, she starts to realize that his powers are unstable. Toby becomes haunted by failure, and obsessed with using magic to right his mistakes regardless of the consequences, leaving Mel to wonder if the love they share is genuine or an illusion. In the most imaginative debut since "The Time Traveler's Wife", Ivy Pochoda unfolds a world where magic is a fickle and powerful force, love can save and destroy, and a couple's fate can be sealed by a mere sleight of hand. Pochoda's spellbinding storytelling seamlessly fuses timeless magic to modern-day passion, unfolding a captivating tale to be destined to enchant readers.
