Sixteen-year-old Elijah Delomary wants to be a normal boy, riding his skateboard, reading his favorite books, and playing with his familiar, Boxey. His mother expects him to practice magic and fight the monsters who are hurting ordinaries, but he'd rather spend time with his new best friend, Austin. As their friendship deepens and an old nemesis - Devlina, the Queen of the Gloom - threatens to destroy the universe, Elijah has to decide what's more important: magic, family, or love?
