More troubling now is a black cloud aura she has seen wrapped around Step-Dad's neck. She can tell it plagues him, and she can mentally manipulate it-an ability that allows her to fight back against him. With the help of her best friend, Danae Jenkins, and as her aura reading skills strengthen, she attracts a Sidhe Fairy Irra, who confronts Gi-Gi with a talisman and the shocking news that they are related. The fairy warns Gi-Gi not to use it for revenge, but Gig-Gi can't rest until she knows the truth about what happened to Denae's parents, even if it means risking their friendship and enraging Step-Dad.Talisman: Gifts of the Shavtal is a magical journey about a young girl born with a gift that's only granted to creatures from the Other World.
