Magic is coming back, and the world will never be the same. If you had the chance to bring magic back to the modern world, would you risk everything to do it? When Brenda accepts a mysterious job offer, she believes her biggest problem is paying rent. Instead, she finds herself kidnapped, hunted, and standing beside an elf prince who claims she's the key to saving his people. Valor, sent through a rift in time itself, has days to open a gateway that will bring his civilization to safety. The catch? He needs Brenda, a woman who doesn't know she carries dormant magic in her veins. But the enemies of magic have not been idle. The Kildare organization has spent six hundred years preparing for this moment. Led by zealots who believe magic's return will destroy humanity, they'll stop at nothing to finish what their prophet started. As Brenda's powers awaken and ancient forces stir across the world, she discovers that bringing back magic means bringing back everything: the wonders and the horrors, the heroes and the monsters. Unicorns in the wild. Fairies with an attitude. Vampires rising from centuries of sleep. Dragons stirring beneath mountains. The age of magic is returning. And the world will never be the same. In a desperate race across America to a sacred canyon in Arizona, Brenda must master powers she barely understands, survive enemies with centuries of knowledge, and make an impossible choice: save Valor's people and unleash magic on an unprepared world, or let an entire civilization die to keep humanity safe. Magic doesn't play by modern rules. Unicorns aren't gentle. Fairies aren't friendly. And humanity's supremacy is about to be challenged. Magic is coming back. Ready or not.
