As a teenager, writer Zorya Mangel dreamed of magical worlds – until one of them took away the person she loved most. Years passed. She made peace, moved on, and settled into a life where magic existed only in her books. That is, until one summer night when the past came knocking. Now the things she used to write about – magic, sorcerers, shapeshifters – come storming into her life for real. And frankly, it’s all a bit much for a grown woman with deadlines, chronic back pain, and a watering schedule for her plants. Between finishing her next manuscript and dealing with everyday chaos, Zorya must somehow squeeze in decoding ancient prophecies, helping reluctant wizards, and possibly murdering a very annoying shapeshifter. Oh, and pack for a trip to the magical world she once dreamed of.
