ANNA VAN HOUSEN HAS A SECRET.

New York, 1920s. A talented illusionist Anna, together with her mother, the famous medium Margarita Van Housen, performs on stage and participates in private seances, feeling completely free in the secret world of magicians and mentalists. Anna, the illegitimate daughter of Harry Houdini - at least according to Margarita - was always able to do magic tricks with handcuffs and other illusions with ease. But to hide your own talent from your mother requires real skill. After all, while Margarita's power may well turn out to be fake, Anna is really capable of feeling human emotions and predicting the future.

And her power is growing. Frightening visions of her mother's danger force Anna to explore the gift she has hidden for so long.

The visions grow darker and her powers spiral out of control, forcing her to rethink everything Anna has ever known. . Is her mother really in danger, or is it just an illusion? Is the great Houdini really Anna's father? Or is this just another Margarita hoax?

Teri Brown takes us into the world of magic, romance and temptation in Jazz Age New York. This is a story about a girl who is going to become the mistress of her own destiny.
