Anna Van Housen has a secret. A gifted illusionist, Anna assists her mother, renowned medium Marguerite Van Housen, in her stage show and séances, easily navigating the underground world of magicians, mediums, and mentalists in 1920s New York. As the illegitimate daughter of Harry Houdini?or so Marguerite claims?sleight-of-hand illusions have never been a challenge for Anna.

From Teri Brown comes a world bursting with magic, with romance, with Jazz Age temptations?and the story of a girl about to become mistress of her own destiny.
