Mona, who is fourteen years old, is not like the wizards tasked with protecting the city. She is unable to talk to water or manipulate lightning. Her magic only works on bread, and her familiar is a sourdough starter. She makes gingerbread guys dance and has a pleasant life at her aunt's bakery.
But when Mona discovers a dead corpse on the bakery floor, everything in her life is upended. The assassin seems to be targeting magic people on the streets of Mona's city, and it looks like Mona is his next victim. And maybe the assassin is the least of Mona's concerns in a beleaguered city that has all of a sudden become wizard-less.
