Sixteen-year old Junie Jasmine has had it up to here. On top of being bullied at school by her arch-nemesis, and being compared to her high-achieving best friend, she manages to get into a car wreck on her very first drive. Last but not least, a handsome street performer attacks her and leaves her with a word she can't get out of her head: "Mina." With all her present problems, Junie can't handle her past conspiring against her too. She only wishes she could recall who or what "Mina" is, and the name of the mysterious, handsome street performer. She dreams of towering palaces, rubies and diamonds, handsome suitors and bubbling laboratories, but whose memories are those anyway? Before long, Junie is ensnared in a magical world of immortality, sorcerers, unrequited love and fables. Slowly, her memories come back of love potions and enchanting handsome men under her spell. She soon comes to face-to-face with the greatest witch the universe has ever known. Except the face of the witch is her own reflection.
