Tourmaline's magic is no longer a secret, and everyone wants something from her, including her (potentially) villainous father. He wants her help on his mission to find the legendary City of Nowhere. But Tourmaline (along with her best friends George and Mai) has bigger things to deal with - Pellavere, her home, is in danger. When it turns out that her father's quest and the key to saving Pellavere could be linked, Tourmaline has a decision to make. But will the City of Nowhere have the solution to save her home? Or will it give her father the magical power he so desperately craves?
