A forbidden portal. A dormant power. A battle against the Wizard King that could shatter realms.
Aoife (EE-fa) Burke never expected her journey home would awaken a destiny tied to magic she doesn't remember-and a world she was never meant to enter. When her father's sudden death reveals her mother's mysterious disappearance, Aoife's search for answers leads her to her childhood home...and to Sean O'Connell, her girlhood crush, who now guards the house with secrets of his own.
When Aoife discovers an antique trunk in the attic, it opens not to relics of the past but to a stairway descending into darkness-a portal to Faery. Drawn into a dangerous new realm of magic, betrayal, and power, Aoife must confront truths her mother kept hidden. The Wizard King, a ruthless ruler seeking to bend all magic to his will, has taken notice of her arrival, and her untrained abilities make her a threat-or a prize.
Sean O'Connell has his own secrets. Tasked with guarding the portal and keeping Aoife safe, his dangerous magic is both a blessing and a curse. But as the Wizard King's reach grows stronger, the cost of protecting Aoife rises, especially when her own mother's desperate gambit threatens to unravel the fabric of time itself.
As old flames ignite and peril deepens, Aoife must decide to embrace the power within her, or risk losing everyone she loves to the Wizard King's relentless grasp. In a world where magic is a weapon and trust is a gamble, the stakes are nothing less than the fate of two realms.
Step into the darkness. The Wizard King is waiting.
