What would you do if one drink changed your fate forever?
Celia, a servant trapped in the gilded halls of Delfino's royal family, has always been careful to avoid attention. But one night at a forbidden party, a red-eyed stranger offers her a drink that she can't refuse-and wakes up in a world without magic. On Earth, Amara has spent years running from a nameless threat and the strange powers she can't control. When a mysterious bartender hands her a drink, she finds herself in the heart of a magical kingdom where every lie could mean her death.
Two women. Two worlds. One prophecy.
Why does the crow haunt their dreams, whispering warnings of destruction? Who is the enigmatic Bartender who seems to be pulling the strings, and can he be trusted-or feared? And when love blooms in unexpected places, will it be their salvation or their undoing?
"The crow may rest, but its shadow lingers."
In the first chapter, Celia is warned: "Never drink from a stranger, no matter how tempting the offer." On Earth, Amara receives a chilling note that reads: "You were never meant to exist." But by the time they realize the gravity of their choices, it's too late. The realms are unraveling, and the crow's shadow looms larger than ever.
What will they sacrifice to survive? And what will be left of them when the dust settles?
