When she meets terminally cheerful tour guide Cade Bausiney, their attraction is so instant it couldn’t possibly be real. She feels she’s known him since before she was born. But the other explanation ~ that they’ve been possessed by the spirits of two doomed lovers of local legend ~ is even more preposterous.

Tomorrow: Elyse of Glimmer Cottage has lived for a thousand years, and now that she’s found the perfect heir, she can give up her semi-mortal existence. While Lilith and Cade both struggle with feelings that might only be caused by a spell, more powerful magic threatens to imprison Lilith forever.

As a chalice, Mallory is forbidden to love, but when Edmund of Allel tries to save her, overwhelming emotions she can’t control could destroy everything she’s struggled to achieve ~ and bring down the entire new world order.
