When Crane, a self-taught wizard who fears his own power, sets out on a quest to confront Yrae, the wizard who cursed the village of Deep River before Crane was born, he discovers nothing is as he believed. Meanwhile, Ketty is learning to use her magical healing ability in secret because her father blames Yrae for her mother's death. When Crane and Ketty meet, they discover they have a common enemy. But Yrae is not what either of them expect.

Karen Eisenbrey’s new novel, a low-spice coming-of-age romantasy with an epic fantasy feel, A Quest for Hidden Things, is set in the same universe as her fan-favorite Daughter of Magic trilogy, but a generation earlier. Now we get the story of Luskell’s parents, Crane and Ketty, who will someday become the famous wizard and healer power-couple, but as teenagers are just starting to discover their abilities and their budding romance.
