Aria had spent her life serving in the castle that should have been her home. Raised in silence and fear beneath her father’s rule and her stepmother’s watchful cruelty, she learned early that questions led only to punishment. Her mother was gone. Her sister had disappeared behind locked doors. And magic was a word never spoken aloud. Until the night it exploded across the great hall. When an Enchantress’s ceremony went disastrously wrong, exposing lies, betrayal, and forbidden power, Aria’s world was torn apart. Her father and the Lady vanished without a trace, leaving the castle in chaos—and Aria standing at the edge of truths she had never been meant to uncover. As whispers of magic awakened around her, Aria began to realize that the answers she sought were bound to her own hidden strength. To find her sister and uncover her family’s darkest secrets, she would have to step out of the shadows and claim a power she had been denied all her life. Finding Magic is a young adult fantasy novel about family secrets, quiet resilience, and discovering that strength can grow even in the most confined places.
