Sadie Revelare has always accepted that her magical abilities come with a curse of four heartbreaks. She has structured her life carefully around this price, believing her powers make the pain worthwhile. When her grandmother receives a cancer diagnosis with only weeks to live, Sadie's controlled world begins to collapse. Jake McNealy, her first heartbreak, returns to their small town after ten years away. Her estranged twin brother Seth also comes home, carrying buried family secrets that threaten everything Sadie thought she knew. Their grandmother has held the family together for generations, serving as the foundation for both their relationships and their magical inheritance. As Sadie's feelings for Jake resurface and her grandmother weakens each day, she approaches her final heartbreak. She must decide whether love matters more than the magic that has defined her entire life.
