Nadia Caldani is the protagonist of Claudia Gray’s Spellcaster series, a YA fantasy trilogy set in the small coastal town of Captive’s Sound, Rhode Island. Nadia comes from a family of witches, trained by her mother in the craft before her mother abruptly left the family. When Nadia and her family relocate to Captive’s Sound, she senses something deeply wrong with the town and realizes an ancient dark magic has taken root there.
Over three books, Nadia fights to protect her new home and the people she grows to care about, including Mateo Perez, a local boy cursed by the same dark forces. Gray’s magic system ties spellcasting to memory and emotion, making Nadia’s power inseparable from her personal growth and the relationships she builds.
