First published 2024
Rachel Morgan faces an impossible choice. Cincinnati's new witch coven demands she reverse a curse, but the spell requires an Atlantean mirror that no longer exists. Her only option is time travel to bargain with Newt, the mad demon who once owned such a mirror. The spell goes wrong and drags Elyse, the young coven leader, into the past with Rachel. They land not five years back as planned, but mere days before Kisten's death. Rachel's lost love is alive again, but she knows she cannot change what happened. She must focus on her mission while navigating a Cincinnati where she has no allies. Newt remains as dangerous as ever, and Elyse risks becoming the demon's next familiar. Rachel draws strength from one certainty: this city belongs to her across all timelines. She must find a way to secure the mirror, protect Elyse from Newt's influence, and return them both to their proper time without altering the tragic events she knows must unfold.
