Barnaby Sloan doesn't believe in magic. His life is ordinary in every possible way: grad school, volunteering, and spending time with his friends. He has a crush on the director of the museum where he volunteers, Liam Morrison, but has never allowed himself to believe it could become anything more. What could a man like Liam see in somebody as ordinary as him?

Barnaby's beloved aunt gives him a leather-bound journal for his twenty-fifth birthday. Since people expect him to have wishes, Barnaby writes them in his journal on a lark: that he could go to Egypt with his archaeologist aunt, work at the museum permanently, and share his life with Liam.

Barnaby Sloan is about to learn that magic happens everywhere, sometimes in the smallest of ways.
