A.M. Dellamonica Books Overview

Indigo Springs

Indigo Springs is a sleepy town where things seem pretty normal…
until Astrid’s father dies and she moves into his house. She discovers that for many years her father had been accessing the magic that flowed, literally, in a blue stream beneath the earth, leaking into his house. When she starts to use the liquid ‘vitagua’ to enchant everyday items, the results seem innocent enough: a ”chanted’ watch becomes a charm that means you’re always in the right place at the right time; a ”chanted’ pendant enables the wearer to convince anyone of anything…


But as events in Indigo Springs unfold and the true potential of vitagua is revealed, Astrid and her friends unwittingly embark on a journey fraught with power, change, and a future too devastating to contemplate. Friends become enemies and enemies become friends as Astrid discovers secrets from her shrouded childhood that will lead her to a destiny stranger than she could have imagined…
