They survived the painting.
They weren't supposed to survive what came next.
Rowan Southeil and Detective Gabriel Lancaster are thrown out of the vortex and into Tudor London, with no weapons, no allies, and no way home.
The man they were hunting got there first.
Lev Rubilov.
Wounded. Recovering.
And quietly rebuilding his power inside the court of Henry VIII.
To stop him, Rowan must do more than survive.
She must learn.
Drawn into a hidden network of Tudor witches, scholars, and seers, Rowan begins training in forces she barely understands, fire, water, air, earth, and something far more dangerous beneath them.
Power that does not come without a cost.
Gabriel does not believe in any of it.
But belief is not required to bleed.
As Rubilov closes in, the hunt turns into a war, and the only way to win is to destroy the painting that brought them there.
They succeed.
And then Rowan wakes up back in her own time.
The painting is gone.
The case never happened.
The people she fought beside do not exist.
And Gabriel
does not remember her.
But she remembers everything.
Because some bonds are not broken by time.
They are rewritten by it.
For fans of Deborah Harkness, Diana Gabaldon, and Susanna Kearsley.
