When her best friend ropes Caitlin Ross and her band into playing at a local music festival, Caitlin expects to be irritated with the whole affair. She doesn't expect to find one of the festival promoters murdered with magic. As the only person with knowledge that the death is anything but natural, Caitlin sets herself to unmask the murderer, and discovers that he or she is after an amulet that grants wishes to those lucky—or unlucky—enough to obtain it. Determined to find the amulet first and use it to lure the murderer into the open, Caitlin plunges into the festival armed with her magic and with her wits. But even as a series of chaotic events points her in the right direction, Caitlin finds out that her magical gifts have consequences that she never expected.
