Going viral

"Princess Evelyn has gone MIA just when Nova (and Sam) needs her most. A surge of magic is spreading across the country--like a virus--and every Talented person is suddenly more powerful. With the Talenteds getting stronger, Ordinary people begin to worry about an imbalance in the magic streams--and in society. When a group of Talented kids--Sam's sister Molly Among them--are attacked with a powerful sleeping potion, Prince Stefan is convinced that the Ordinary people are taking a radical stand against Talenteds and reinstates the old ban on traditional alchemy. Now Sam's hands are tied. Does she trust Nova's scientists to find a synthetic cure to this curse, or does she break Stefan's royal decree and use her skills to save her little sister--and possibly all of Nova--from a forever sleep?"--Amazon.com.
