Imagine being the only un-magical kid at Hogwarts. That's how sixteen-year-old orphan Jaden Raines feels as he enters Azunya High. He struggles to fit in, but he's really a fish out of water.
The magical isle of Azunya, where paranormal policing agency B.O.O. is headquartered, is shocking to Jaden after having lived his entire life in the American Midwest. Back there, his classmates were freaks, geeks and gangstas. Here, his classmates are genies, witches, healers... A whole pantheon of beings and monsters.
And worse yet, he'll have to read The Old Man and the Sea. Again.
Jaden might be the new kid in town, but he's still a teen. It's love at first sight with handsome skater-boy Stiltz. They have three things in common: neither is able to use magic, they're both petrified of water, and, lucky for Jaden, they're both gay. They should bond, but their relationship's stormy from the start.
To try to fit in, Jaden hides his powerless state, accidentally creating the myth that he's the most powerful being of them all. But when the entire school demands a demonstration, what's Jaden to do?
New lies and cruel deceptions leave Jaden and Stiltz stranded at sea in the middle of a deadly tropical storm. In order to survive, the boys must spill their secrets. It's sink or swim for our heroes.
Only the truth can set them free. And keep them alive.
