Lexie’s sisters have two unique brands of magic. Her eldest sister, Nicole, is a potion-maker and her middle sister, Marie, is a healer.
Potion-makers are almost like squibs from Harry Potter, except they do still have some magic, just not the usual kind. Their powers are limited to working with magical ingredients. As Gavon explains to Lexie, she and Nicole could put together the same ingredients and come out with vastly different potions.
Marie, on the other hand, is incredibly powerful, although her healing leaves a lot to be desired. She and Lexie fight like cats and dogs, as siblings do, and that doesn’t change when Lexie comes into her powers.
The problem comes when Lexie begins learning how to spar with Gavon, she needs healing to replenish what she’s lost. But Nicole doesn’t make potions (and doesn’t know about Lexie’s evening chats with her mysterious teacher) and Marie would rather eat her foot than help Lexie.
Which leads our brilliant little magical to make the not-so-brilliant decision to brew her own potion. You’ll have to read to find out what happens…
