I love the ghosts I once feared—but protecting them may cost me everything.
I’m Kat and I’m determined to settle back into my senior year at McTernan Academy. But my destiny keeps getting in the way. To protect my loved ones and stop the rise of an ancient evil, I must master forbidden magic, survive time travel, and uncover the truth buried in my ancestral line.
I refuse to pull my best friend into all the danger, which strains our friendship. But I’d rather have her distant than dead. Then a mysterious entity attacks me on campus, proving none of us are safe here.
Evan manages to hold onto his normal college life, including dating. I can’t help feeling shunted aside. And jealous. Of the girl? More than I want to admit. And of him, for having his school life while mine disappears.
But it’s only a matter of time before he and I have to travel into the past again…
And I’m in mortal danger every minute we wait to retrieve the last amulet we need to defeat the Dark One.
A trip to eighteenth-century Connecticut could shatter my world. I must face the terrible cost that comes with time travel and changing the past. The results of my actions are disastrous—the ghosts of my ancestors tell me of their tragic fates: lost love, early death, and even insanity.
With a soul-deep bond to Evan tested by magic and time, and ghosts growing into family, I’m forced to choose between saving the living or helping the dead. I try to protect everyone I love, but risk destroying every relationship that matters to me.
If you enjoy light vs. dark magic that ripples through families, a simmering slow-burn romance, & a life-changing trip across time, join Kat on her next exhilarating quest!
