From #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Charlaine Harris, a thrilling new fantasy series following a young woman, hidden from birth in our world until she was twenty, who discovers that she’s the last living member of a powerful house of mages.

When Hannalyn sees a portal to the world she has been having visions of materialize in her yard, a range of wild thoughts race through her mind: Has she gone mad, or is this the proof she desperately needs? As a hand reaches out to her from the portal, she knows in her heart that this is right and takes it. She is transported to the world she was truly born into twenty years earlier.

Stepping into a Renaissance-era-looking world of deadly intrigue and magic, Hannalyn discovers she is the last living mage of her family line, and she’s being hunted by rival families who want to use her power for their own gains. Gathering her half-brother Sandlin and half-sister Berea, warriors both, the three set off on a quest to find a safe haven amidst another mage’s stronghold via an arranged marriage that is looking better every time they talk, in New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris’s first book in a new series.
