Tangled Shadows

Thursday, magic spills into the Chesapeake Bay, changing the fabric of reality.Alexis is a photographer focused on her five year plan, until she offers first-aid to a stranger, who's trying to hide a unicorn in the marsh. It's always been easier for her to help others than follow her own dreams and she wants answers about magic. Being discovered with a creature that didn't exist an hour ago is the least of Brian's problems. His family is in danger, the secret anti-magic organization they belong to is more focused on saving the world than helping, and Merlin's Compass, which Brian is sworn to protect, is being hunted by a rich and desperate man.With 48-hours to save his family without sacrificing the Compass, Brian needs Alexis's help for more than a band-aid. Her calm rationale and newly developing ability to read shadows complement his strengths. In turn, Brian might just be able to help her figure out what's missing from her magic and her photography. But time is running out, and if the Compass falls into the wrong hands it will lead to the magical equivalent of a nuclear winter.
