Description:

As a child, Helena Baxley worshiped the ground her father walked on. She clung to every word he spoke about his wild dreams of discovering and proving that magic was real. She was a daddy’s girl through and through, believing that he hung the damn moon.

Until one day, the very thing he loved most—magic—cursed him and took his last breath.

From that moment on, Helena wanted nothing to do with magic. Not spells. Not books. Not even whispers of it. But staying away wasn’t easy—not when she lived in a city that oozed magic from every brick and cobblestone. Especially her childhood neighborhood... the one she hadn’t stepped foot in since the day they buried her father. Not even to visit her own mother.

Still, something pulled at her—guilt, grief, longing, maybe all three. Whatever it was, it led her back home. She thought she was just checking in. She had no idea that would be the day her entire existence would change, permanently.

The same curse that took her father didn’t kill her.

It split her.

Now there’s another version of her clawing for control. And unless Helena finds a way to break the curse and put herself back together…

She may never be whole again

It didn’t matter who thought it was a waste of time. Jackie Truitt was determined to prove her mother right.

Magic did exist.

Not even her father could knock her off that path. Because of her stubbornness, her relationship with him—and her older sister—was strained at best, trashed at worst. But she couldn’t stop. Her pride, and the guilt that came with quitting, wouldn’t let her walk away.

So when she finally gets a breakthrough in one of her private experiments, she thinks she’s on to something.

Then she meets Helena. A woman with emotional walls for days and a beauty so raw and otherworldly, Jackie’s heart damn near jumps out of her chest.

But she doesn’t get long to admire her, because the amulet Helena’s holding out to a shop owner suddenly reacts to her.

Before Jackie even knows what she’s doing, she’s pulling it out of Helena’s hand. The moment her fingers touch it, something deep and ancient wakes up inside her.

That’s when they both realize:

Jackie has magic in her blood.

And for Helena, that might make her the key to breaking this curse once and for all.

But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous it gets.

Because when they learn what the cost of breaking the curse really is…

Neither of them is sure they’ll survive it.
