    About this audiobook

    Can a bully be defeated by a magical love potion?

    Jolina can't take Claudine's bullying any longer! The taunts and teasing are too much. Though Jolina knows she's still in-training to use her grandfather's arbularyo magic, she sneaks into his potions lab to get her revenge. Jolina brews a batch of gayuma, a powerful love potion.

    And it works. The love potion conquers Claudine's hateful nature. In fact, Claudine doesn't just stop bullying Jolina-now she wants to be Jolina's BFF, and does everything and anything Jolina asks.

    But magic comes with a cost, and bad intentions beget bad returns. Controlling another person's ability to love-or hate-will certainly have consequences. The magic demands payment, and it is about to come for Jolina in the form of a powerful storm...

    Magic and reality mingle in this brilliant new middle-grade novel by Gail D. Villanueva that asks whether it's ever okay to take away someone's free will.
