Paperback Original. Indigo Springs is a sleepy town where things seem pretty normal ... until Astrid's father dies and she moves into his house. She discovers that for many years her father had been accessing the magic that flowed, literally, in a blue stream beneath the earth, leaking into his house. When she starts to use the liquid "vitagua" to enchant everyday items, the results seem innocent enough: a 'chanted' watch becomes a charm that means you're always in the right place at the right time; a 'chanted' pendant enables the wearer to convince anyone of anything...
But as events in Indigo Springs unfold and the true potential of vitagua is revealed, Astrid and her friends unwittingly embark on a journey fraught with power, change, and a future too devastating to contemplate. Friends become enemies and enemies become friends as Astrid discovers secrets from her shrouded childhood that will lead her to a destiny stranger than she could have imagined ...
"Astrid's somewhat deranged conversations with Will give indications of what happened, and sympathetic characters go a long way toward making up for the vagueness." - Publishers Weekly
"Starred Review. A psychologically astute, highly original debut - complex, eerie and utterly believable. Stay tuned for the projected sequel." - Kirkus Reviews
"First in a two-novel series, this ecofantasy delivers a powerful story of good intentions gone terribly wrong and introduces a promising new voice that brings a fresh vision to the genre. Recommended." - Library Journal
