Every eleven years, Earth's most powerful wizards host the Invitational—a fierce, three-week showdown where the brightest young wizards unveil their most dazzling spells.

Wizard partners Kit Rodriguez and Nita Callahan are assigned to mentor Penn Shao-Feng, an ambitious sun technician with a risky new approach to controlling solar weather. Meanwhile, Nita's sister, former prodigy Dairine Callahan, takes under her wing Mehrnaz Farrahi, a shy Iranian wizard striving to defuse earthquakes while wrestling with a family that demands perfection.

As egos clash and tensions rise, Penn's arrogance challenges his mentors just as Kit and Nita navigate their budding romance. Dairine fights to shield her insecure protégée from powerful relatives manipulating her for their own agendas.

When both candidates reach the finals on the dark side of the Moon, they're thrust into a final conflict that could reshape the solar system—or doom Earth beyond any wizard's repair.

In a competition where the stakes are cosmic, can they overcome their personal battles to save their world?
