Two Enigmatic Sisters
A Brilliant, Terrifying Secret
A Perfect Lie
Ivy Gamble was born without magic and never wanted it.
Ivy Gamble has an almost-sustainable career as a private investigator, an empty apartment, and a slight drinking problem. She doesn't in any way wish she was like Tabitha, her estranged, magically gifted twin sister.
Ivy Gamble is a liar.
