Vengeance has a long memory.

Story Content Warnings: Death/Grief, Pregnancy Loss, Human Trafficking

Arette had it all—an NCAA fencing championship, a spot at a top medical school, a Bronx apartment, and an engagement ring. But when her fiancé’s death forces her to face the supernatural consequences of his ancestor’s role in a witch trial, she realizes her worth lies not in the accolades she’s collected, but in the sacrifices she’s willing to make for those she loves.

She inherits a centuries-old awl used to torture Florence Newton, The Witch of Youghal. To her horror, the awl transports her to Dioltas—a mirror of Florence’s Ireland. But Arette is not the first from New York to appear there. Sebastien has been there twenty-three years—and there is something hauntingly familiar about him.

In this mirror world, special soldiers called Sky Javelins are born with the ability to “vault” high into the air and drop like meteors to devastate their enemies. When Arette befriends a princess doomed to a life bearing children for this powerful bloodline, she finds herself entrenched in a clandestine plan to topple tradition, free an oppressed people, and rid the land of a centuries-old curse. She’d also like to find a way to get back home before her overprotective brother burns down Jersey City to find her.

At the heart of the story is a slow-burning, emotionally charged rescue romance that will leave readers debating who rescued whom. Prince Talen is charming, intelligent, and neglected. In him, Arette finds a romantic connection that respects her grief and questions everything she thought she wanted.

When Florence's vengeful spirit finds a home among the vaulted, Arette must risk her life to protect the people of Dioltas and mend her broken heart.
