BLURB:
In the Age of Wizards,
Time is a commodity more valuable than gold. When Aoife (EE-fa) stumbles upon
an antique trunk in the attic, it calls to her with an ancient magic. Inside
she finds a stairway leading into darkness and cannot resist stepping onto that
first stair. It leads her to dark truths her mother never wanted her to uncover
and love so powerful she walks through time to save it.
Her magic is dormant.
When Aoife Burke rushes
home after the unexpected death of her father, she discovers her mother has
vanished amidst inexplicable circumstances. She returns to her childhood home
to search for clues of her mother’s whereabouts but another shock awaits her.
Sean O’Connell, the object of her girlhood crush, has purchased the family
home. She senses Sean is hiding something from her, refuses to let her inside
and does everything he can to keep her out. A determined Aoife breaks inside and
stumbles upon an antique trunk in the attic. When she opens it, instead of the
normal musty clothes and ancient letters, she finds a stairway leading into
darkness. It calls to her and she cannot resist stepping into the trunk and
onto that first stair where it leads her to magical truths her mother never
wanted her to discover.
His magic is dangerous.
Sean O’Connell has been
assigned by the Inter-dimensional Portal Protection Agency to keep Aoife and
her mother out of Faery. But when she breaks into the house and disappears
through the portal in the trunk—like her mother—he has no choice but to follow
her, even though stepping into Faery will force him to face his past. Keeping
her safe and out of the hands of the Wizard King also becomes a fight to save Aoife’s
life from her own mother, who has discovered a time portal in Faery leading her
back in time to alter her past mistakes, putting Aoife’s life in peril. Sean is
willing to do anything to make sure she’s safe. Even if it means he has to tap
into his dangerous magic to do it.
