Enter a disenchanted future of London-- escape to the enchanted past. Wren and historian Ali find a spell that takes them to the Victorian Era, which is better and worse than their expectations. They'll encounter magical orders, secret societies, and royal families. In a quest to rediscover magic in the past to somehow save their dystopian future their journey continues as love, loss, and magic systems open themselves to them. Magics explored: Hermetic Pentagram Magic, Astrology, Onmyōdō, Mesmerism, Cabala, Planetary Pentacles, Cunning work and much more! While certain liberties (the imaging of magic, the conclusions about the Death of King George III) are invented or exaggerated, but I've based about as much of this as I can on real historical facts! (Ali would be proud.)

Part 3 in my Time Travel series, and the best trilogy I may have ever written. Don't worry too much about not having read the first two parts, it's a time travel story, why not start in the middle? Logan Kennison has reset the world twice in order to try to fix it, but so far he's only proven to be a cynical, aging villain. A mother who joins an artificial consciousness looks over generations of humanity with the goal of helping us survive the 21st century without destroying ourselves through the planet. This will be much more difficult than either of them will imagine.

Magic is scarce. The great wonders of the past lie dormant, waiting. Virgil refuses to wait. With skill, courage, and the echoes of those who came before him, he makes his mission to recover what was lost - one spark at a time. A standalone sequel to "A Second Chance" and "Elven Crown".
