Description

Wrack & Rune is a captivating tale about a teenager born into a secret magical society who begins to see his entire world differently after falling for a boy from the Outside.

Nineteen-year-old Rory Denborough was born into magic by way of the insular society known as The Translators. For his entire life, Rory has been given control over a world of awe-inspiring wonders—telekinesis, shape-shifting, teleportation, advanced healing, even time travel. Everything is possible thanks to his family’s enchanted bloodline and an ancient language passed down through generations. Rory’s life is full of miracles. But he’s not happy.

Because Rory's world is also a world of secrets. Translators hide in the shadows, keeping their power from the world around them. Rory struggles in this secrecy, sneaking out of his family's hidden high-rise apartment to blend into the wonderfully normal streets and peoples of New York City.

After sneaking out one night, Rory meets Tyson, an Outsider, who knows nothing about the Translators or their gifts. Soon, the two young men are falling in love... but this idyllic romance starts to fall apart once Rory reveals his magical origins. Tyson raises a question—one that Rory has never considered and now must contend with—why keep magic secret, when so many people could be helped by it? The truth—and terrible danger—soon follows.
