The Cave of the Ancients
Time is her gift. Magic is her birthright.
And history is about to be rewritten.
Paige Delaney was content blending in—an artist in a sleepy seaside town, quietly honing the time-bending powers passed down through her witch bloodline. But when a stranger’s face appears—unbidden—in one of her paintings, the veil between past and present begins to unravel.
Her vision pulls her into a world on the edge of 13th-century France, where plague creeps across the land, kingdoms are at war, and the most powerful magical relic in history has resurfaced.
The Herbarium—a sacred book rumored to be blessed by Christ, Himself—could heal millions… or unleash a magical reckoning. Guarded by ancient forces and hunted by the ruthless Papal Guard and a rival coven’s war fleet, the Herbarium’s secrets could reshape not only magic, but the fate of mankind.
Guided by a young wizard with secrets of his own, Paige must race across countryside, abandoned cities and dangerous seas, facing unrelenting enemies. The further she goes, the more the past threatens to entrap her—and everything she loves in the present.
The clock is ticking. The balance of magic is tipping.
One witch stands between salvation and ruin.
