Fiona Shakleton has stared down gods, survived corruption that should have killed her, and somehow kept the Backside of Forty coven—herself, Violet, and Aislinn—together through enough supernatural disasters to fill a very depressing scrapbook. She’s battered, she’s mouthy, and she is absolutely done with things going wrong in the middle of the night.
Too bad the universe didn’t get the memo.
Something changed in all three of them after Scotland. Fiona’s power now reads intention whether she wants it to or not. Violet’s phoenix fire has started showing her places and events she shouldn’t be able to see. And Aislinn can pull memories from the earth itself, whether she’s ready for what she finds or not.
They barely have time to wonder what any of that means before an ancient magical network wakes beneath Cottlehill and a fragment of dead-god power escapes into the ley lines.
Then the silver markings start appearing. At first, it looks like the victims’ magic is simply being pulled out of place. But the truth is worse.
They’re being turned into living parts of the network.
A desperate father started the whole mess trying to save his daughter. Orla Vane sees something bigger in what he uncovered. She believes the old Aeridh network can change how supernatural power is shared, and she’s willing to use anyone she has to in order to make it work. Even children.
Meanwhile, the divine fragment everyone is fighting over isn’t trying to destroy Cottlehill. It’s trying to get home.
With the next ley-line reverberation closing in, Fiona, Violet, and Aislinn have to break Orla’s control of Aeridh, keep its living relays alive, and get a piece of dead-god power back where it belongs before the network tears through everyone connected to it.
Their magic is changing faster than they can understand it, time is running out, and walking away has never really been an option for any of them.
Some things don’t change.
