Channie lives in a hidden magical community where a person’s power name affects their life. Her parents give her the name Chastity and attach a curse meant to keep her away from non-magical boys. Channie experiences that decision as control rather than protection.
When she meets Josh, a BMX champion with no magic, the curse becomes the central problem in their relationship. The books follow her attempts to choose her own life against family and community rules. Begin Charlotte Abel’s Channie series with Enchantment and read in publication order; the collected edition is not the best starting point for new readers.
