Book Description

How can a girl become the most powerful magus when she can’t even cast the simplest of spells? This is the destiny and dilemma of Max Quigley. When a prophecy foretells her death, Max must learn how to be impervious to spells and prevent the prediction from coming true. Readers can follow her journey as she struggles to find her way out in Spellbind, the new novel authored by Clare Cherikoff. Mixing ancient Sufi wisdom, mysticism, western folk lore and quantum science, Cherikoff creates a magical world filled with unusual characters who impart hints and clues to empower both Max and the reader to break free from spells of negative illusion. Everything in Max’s world could be a spell to delude her or awaken her potential to become the powerful magus she is meant to be. Battling both, the spells thrown at her and the spells from within, Max must fight the professors conducting heinous experiments on children. Complications arise in her rescue attempt when the authorities want her dead. They know she is different from everyone else. They know she can see bird spirits attached to everyone when they cannot. All she knows is that she has to uncover the mystery of the bird spirits to survive. In a world where magic, illusion and deception reign, Max needs to realize the truth before time runs out. Readers will find themselves engrossed in this enchanting tale as they fall under the magical spell of Spellbind.
