About this eBook

On one side of the Rift is a technological paradise without famine or want. On the other side is a mystery.

Sixteen-year-old Glenn Morgan has lived next to the Rift her entire life and has no idea of what might be on the other side of it. Glenn's only friend, Kevin, insists the fence holds back a world of monsters and witchcraft, but magic isn't for Glenn. She has enough problems with reality: Glenn's mother disappeared when she was six, and soon after, she lost her scientist father to his all-consuming work on the mysterious Project. Glenn buries herself in her studies and dreams about the day she can escape. But when her father's work leads to his arrest, he gives Glenn a simple metal bracelet that will send Glenn and Kevin on the run---with only one place to go.With MAGISTERIUM, Jeff Hirsch brings us the story of a complex, captivating world that will leave readers breathless until the very last page.

Ratings and reviews

I love this book. I keep wanting the author to write a sequel to see what Glenn, Kevin, and Hopkins, are gonna do to help keep there home from being destroyed. Best. Book. Ever.

Branching out from the usual books of vampires and werewolves, this book integrates the future and the past in one world, separated by a border. And with a few tweaks and changes, magic spurs from the slightest of forms.
