About this book

When best friends Xander and Andrea land their dream jobs as magical Dealers in the enchanted land of Augustine, they think their lives are finally falling into place—until their charming new boss reveals that nothing is quite what it seems. Xander's quietly harbored feelings for Andrea complicate matters further, especially when the magical shimmer they're selling starts causing unexpected and sinister effects. As the two realize they may be unwitting pawns in a dangerous game of revenge, they're forced to band together to protect each other and the magical world they love. This high-stakes adventure blends magic, friendship, and the kind of tension that keeps you turning pages long into the night.

“Create a playlist called Shimmer. Ethereal indie-pop with soft folk undertones—think Phoebe Bridgers' wistful intimacy and Lord Huron's haunting beauty. Layer in dreamy synths and acoustic warmth. Capture the tension between enchantment and danger, closeness and uncertainty, magic tainted by betrayal.”
