Available for Purchase August 1, 2026
In the time-slipped highlands of southern India, prophecies, manipulative spirits, and a living landscape push three grieving sisters toward an impossible choice.
The Story
When sixteen-year-old Angelie travels to India after the recent loss of her mother, she expects guilt trips and sweltering heat, not her sister Naomi vanishing into thin air, or encountering a stranger with impossible claims. She must embrace the myths she never believed in, or lose her sister forever.
Joined by her sister Siena, she crosses into a world where ancient grudges simmer and every shadow hides a threat. Manipulated by prophetic witches and a formless trickster, and hunted by assassins, shapeshifters, and vengeful spirits, the sisters begin to question everything they believe in.
To find their way home, they must unearth their family’s buried past and navigate hazy loyalties to decide who they can trust, even each other. In a world ruled by promises and power, belonging is never free, and family may be the most dangerous bond of all.
