Magic's Escape

Most wars are fought with swords and magic, but fifteen-year-old Izzie's war begins with a choice: stay and protect her twin brother from their abusive mother, or risk everything for a chance at escape-knowing she may never see him again. MAGIC'S ESCAPE: WINGLESS is a YA fantasy standalone with series potential. It explores family bonds being redefined through trust and resilience, even in the aftermath of abuse. Set against a magical backdrop of clan wars, supernatural hybrids, and moral ambiguity, the twins discover their powers and grow from victims to taking control of their lives. When a giant chimera attacks her school, Izzie fights, but four magic-wielding brothers from the Clan XXS intervene. They open the door of magic, all-out clan wars against Nemesis, and a chance to rescue Izzie's twin. Yet Nemesis, while masquerading as humanity's saviors, hunts magic users like her with deadly hybrids, red-skinned Dehumans, or mind-controlling butterflies, Izzie must unravel the truth before the Clans massacre each other, and shatter her chance to reunite with the family she barely remembers. MAGIC'S ESCAPE: WINGLESS combines the dark, character-driven stakes of Terry J. Benton-Walker's Blood Debts with the richly imaginative world-building of Alexandra Bracken's Silver in the Bone. But it also delivers something distinct: a tale of sibling resilience, where magic is as much a force for healing as it is for destruction.
