War erupts across the supernatural world, and Amari finds herself caught between two deadly adversaries. Elaine Harlowe has seized control as prime minister, wielding her mind control powers to turn the Bureau against all magicians. On the opposing side, Dylan Van Helsing now leads the League of Magicians and hunts for devastating new abilities that would make him unstoppable. Both the Bureau and the League have become dangerous territories for Amari. Her brother Quinton wants to shield her from the conflict, but Amari refuses to stay on the sidelines. She joins her friends in a desperate mission to locate ancient magical artifacts called Wonders, the only weapons capable of stopping Dylan's rise to power. These mysterious inventions carry enormous risks for anyone who dares to use them. Amari must choose how much she will sacrifice to end the war, knowing that the Despicable Wonders will extract a devastating price from her.
