Sometimes the story that feels like a detour... is the key to everything.
Lin never asked for magic. She never wanted to be special. But when fire leaps from her hands and a deadly hunter arrives at her doorstep, she's forced to flee the only home she's ever known. Alone and hunted, Lin journeys north into a land of ancient myths and forgotten magic-where creatures from bedtime stories breathe, and old powers stir beneath the ice. But even in this remote corner of the world, she is not safe. Not from the wizard chasing her. Not from the dark truth buried in her blood. Not even from herself. As Lin struggles to control her power and uncover its origin, another story unfolds far to the south. Kincaid-haunted by visions and voices-abandons everything to chase a call he can't explain. His path will lead him straight into Lin's world... and straight into the heart of a secret that could shatter everything they know about magic.
Two stories. One destiny.
The true origins of magic are about to be revealed. This is the turning point of The Chronomancer Series-a story of sacrifice, survival, and the power hidden in myths. Book Three sets the stage for everything to come.
