About
Indigo Springs is a sleepy town where things seem pretty normal...until Astrid's father dies and she moves into his house. She discovers that for many years her father had been accessing the magic that flowed, literally, in a blue stream beneath the earth, leaking into his house. When she starts to use the liquid "vitagua" to enchant everyday items, the results seem innocent enough: a "'chanted" watch becomes a charm that means you're always in the right place at the right time; a "'chanted" pendant enables the wearer to convince anyone of anything...
But as events in Indigo Springs unfold and the true potential of vitagua is revealed, Astrid and her friends unwittingly embark on a journey fraught with power, change, and a future too devastating to contemplate. Friends become enemies and enemies become friends as Astrid discovers secrets from her shrouded childhood that will lead her to a destiny stranger than she could have imagined…

"Dellamonica has produced a well-written and original story, with a fascinatingly detailed world and a coherent magical system, reminiscent of Tim Powers' work. Compelling characterizations, engrossing plot, and a horrific look at the consequences of power used selfishly all kept me turning the pages."
Kage Baker
"This is an entertaining and terrifying tale of terrific characters who stumble into the practice of blue magic, and find that it is neither simple nor safe. Astrid, Jacks, and Sahara will enchant you, and lead you down unexpected paths of discovery and danger. A great read that will make you look for magic in everyday objects!"
Toby Bishop, author of AIRS BENEATH THE MOON
"I loved this. An original and terrific apocalyptic fantasy set in the real world, Indigo Springs is terrifyingly insightful, sprinkled with bits of humor for leavening. Newcomer A. M. Dellamonica has deftly crafted a book that is both literary and a very good read. What a fine storyteller Tor has discovered."
