Sam Weyward is used to life being a little bit weird. He lives with his grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother (the Grands), who all know a thing or two about magic. And he spends his nights with the drag queens at the Shangri-La, the bar where Sam helps them put on shows. When he's there, he can pretend to be someone else --even if he hasn't quite decided who that someone is yet.
And then there’s the Weyward Curse. If Sam can make it to his 17th birthday without falling in love, he’ll be the first one in his family to escape it in almost a century. But when a new guy comes to town, Sam finds himself in trouble when they strike up a friendship that might be way more than that.
But curses have a way of keeping track of people, and Sam's seems to be getting more powerful and less specific about who it targets. A mystery girl Sam talks to on the phone late at night and a woman he’s only seen in a dream might hold the clues to stopping it, but time is running out.
