When she was dropped off at Camp Mana--a summer camp for kids gifted with magic--Serra Sinclair was expecting a boring, tedious season spent being the "worst" mage in the camp. But something lurking in the woods outside the grounds has noticed her. Something ancient and evil. Something that knows what Serra really is, and will stop at nothing to have what it desires.
It's a race against time, as Serra scrambles to discover the monster's weakness before it discovers hers. And if she can't stop it before summer's end, Serra won't be leaving Camp Mana for a very long time...
