Rachel Griffin has one goal. She wants to know everything. Arriving at Roanoke Academy in the Hudson Highlands, Rachel discovers that her perfect memory has an unexpected side effect. With it, she can see through the enchantment that sorcerers use to hide their secrets. But even her perfect recollection does not help her when she finds a strange statue in the forest—a statue of a woman with wings. Nowhere in the arcane tomes of the Wise nor in the dictionary and encyclopedia of the non-magic-using Unwary can she find mention of such a creature.

It wanders through space in fiery temperatures that make Hades look like a vacation spot by comparison. The first planet in our Solar System that races around the Sun once every 88 days. Named after the Roman god of commerce, eloquence, messages, travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves, he also serves as the guide of souls to the underworld. These, then, are the tales of Mercury.

Rachel Griffin should be having an amazing freshman year. She has the princess of Magical Australia and crazy orphan Sigfried the Dragonslayer for friends and a handsome sorcerer boyfriend romancing her with charms magical and otherwise. But otherworldly forces conspire against those she loves.

All her life, Rachel has wanted to visit Beaumont Castle in the kingdom of Transylvania, the last known location of her hero - librarian-adventurer “Daring” Northwest. Only, falling out of the land of dreams onto her face was not how she had expected to arrive. Now, the castle is right there, looming over her. Only her best friend, the princess of Magical Australia, does not want to go in, so as to avoid an international incident. But what if the castle holds some clue as to her hero’s final fate?

Before coming to Roanoke Academy, Rachel Griffin had been an obedient girl - but it is hard to obey the rules when the world is in danger and no one will listen. Now, she's eavesdropping on Wisecraft Agents and breaking a great many regulations. Because if the adults will not believe her, then it is up to Rachel and her friends - crazy, orphan-boy Sigfried the Dragonslayer, and Nastasia, the Princess of Magical Australia - to stop the insidious Mortimer Egg from destroying the world. But first, she must survive truth spells, fights with her brother, detention, Alchemy experiments, talking to elves, and conjuring class.

What image does Venus draw to your mind? A great planetary body of deadly gases neighboring Earth, existing as its own world, mysterious and alluring? Or an image of a more fantastical nature, such as the jungles described by Edgar Rice Burroughs? Or do you think, perhaps, of a goddess who holds power and beauty beyond measure, whose name, throughout the ages, has been synonymous with love? Within this book, you will find tales of wonder, some of space, some of the heart, some that follow in the footsteps of the goddess herself.

She has discovered she has an older sister named Amber, who was stolen away as a baby. Nobody but Rachel remembers her—not even their parents. Rachel is determined to find Amber and restore her to the family. But how? She doubts it will be as easy as overhearing the name Rumpelstiltskin.
