Left an orphan, five-year-old Rosie Harris is found and raised by Maria, a Romany gypsy. Life on the road is hard, but the little girl soon feels one of the tribe with the travelers. As she grows older, Rosie realises she has 'second sight' and is able to read people's palms and see into their futures. Needing to make a living of her own, she befriends the canal folk, known as the 'cut-rats' traversing the Black Country waterways with their cargo, and so offers readings to anyone who can pay. Pursued by Jake Harding, Rosie instead finds herself falling in love with a married man.

Hamou Badi is born in a mountain village with the magical signs of the zouhry on his hands. In Morocco, the zouhry is a figure of legend, a child of both humans and djinns, capable of finding all manner of treasure: lost objects, hidden water. But instead, Hamou finds a body. This unsolved murder instils in Hamou a deep desire for order and justice: he trains as an officer of the law, working for the French in Casablanca. But the city is trapped in the turmoil of the nationalist uprising, and soon he will be forced to choose between all he knows and all he loves...

Seattle, 1925. Dishwasher Eleanora dreams of performing magic tap dance. Sure, she can conjure fire, but that talent remains buried thanks to Prohibition, which has banned booze and magic, and the devastating panic attacks that knock her unconscious every time she takes the stage. Unable to quiet her calling, Eleanora lands an audition at The Luminaire, the only theater where magic flows freely and the same stage where her mother famously brought fire dance to the masses before her death in an asylum.
