Ainsley can’t keep in touch with her peers. Due to her family’s circumstances, each year she moves between worlds. The cycle of making friends, enjoying good company, and saying goodbye over and over has worn her out. Each cycle gets harder and harder: she can’t talk about magic to non-magicians, and her magician peers don’t share her love (or understanding) of technology and TV shows.
Having just moved to yet another high school, she steels herself for another cycle. “Why bother making friends when you’ll never see them again?” she thinks. But when she learns that some of her classmates know magic, the cycle begins to change.
This is part of the New Salem
universe.
