Channie is a teenager growing up in a secret magical society where names carry real power. Her parents, worried about her future, cursed her with the full name “Chastity” to keep her away from non-magical boys. The curse is meant to protect her, but Channie sees it as a cage.
Things go sideways when she meets Josh, a BMX champion with no magic at all. Their connection breaks every rule her community has, and the consequences pile up fast. Channie spends the series trying to hold onto Josh while dealing with a magical world that wants to pull them apart. She is headstrong and loyal, even when those qualities get her into trouble.
Charlotte Abel built the series around Channie’s refusal to accept the limits placed on her. The magical system is tied to names and bloodlines, and Channie’s struggle against her own name gives the story more weight than the premise might suggest.
