Evan Foster wasn’t always his name, evil isn’t him, just a part of what his lost, heartbroken, betrayed and lonely soul turned to. The past makes us who we are. Why resort to cursing people who did him wrong if the man above sent him to do exactly the opposite? What changed? It takes the son of one of the women Evan cursed, Zayn Parker, to figure out just that with a journal Evan wrote regarding all four of his decades on this planet, including the true purpose of the magic oil that began the invisibility curse. Zayn wasn’t randomly chosen to stand by the good that Evan was supposed to bring to the world.

Two separate yet binding stories show Evan and Zayn to be connected in more ways than just Zayn being the chosen one and his ex-girlfriend, Michelle, being Evan’s daughter. Both stories involve love one can be tempted to give into, but is it truly the kind of love that saves the world from its people tearing each other down, or does it start and end within?

This forces Zayn to befriend the sassy, lost girl, who eats her lunch on the floor by the cafeteria doors, Lex Fisher. Will Zayn and Macy find their way back to each other, or just like Zayn’s home run, will the unexpected happen?
