‘History’s greatest secret. Magic’s deadliest price. Love’s last hope.’
A Tale of Magic and Time
In 16th-century London, where elemental magic crackles through cobblestone streets and royal intrigue, art historian Rowan and police detective Gabriel find themselves stranded in the past. Their only way home lies in unraveling the secrets of a bewitched painting. Thrown together by fate, the two must navigate a treacherous maze of secrets, spells, and historical intrigue to break the painting’s curse before it reshapes history itself.
As Lev Rubilov, a ruthless adversary, obsessed with harnessing time-altering magic, hunts them through Tudor London, Rowan discovers she carries the blood of a powerful witch lineage. As he closes in to exploit their powers for his own twisted ambitions, Rowan and Gabriel form an unshakable bond. Together, they search for Rowan’s powerful ancestor, whose legacy may hold the key to their salvation. For even if they break the painting's curse, success means returning to a present that may no longer exist—and one where they never met at all.
Guided by the enigmatic elder witch Agnes and a coven of unexpected allies, Rowan and Gabriel must master their newfound abilities and face sacrifices that will test the limits of their courage and love. As their connection deepens into a passion that defies time itself, they confront a haunting question: can their love survive the ultimate price of their quest?
In a spellbinding tale of magic, passion, and courage, Rowan and Gabriel must risk everything to save not only their future together but the destiny of the world. Will they succeed in unraveling the painting’s secrets, or will Rubilov’s ambitions tear them apart and forever alter the course of history?
For readers who love the rich historical fantasy of Deborah Harkness’s A Discovery of Witches, the time-bending intrigue of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander, and the magical peril of Paula Brackston’s The Witch’s Daughter, Tale of Magic and Time weaves a spellbinding blend of romance, adventure, and danger across the centuries.
