Life is hard. Death is easy. Returning from the dead is a nightmare. On July 4th, 1917, a Master Wizard catches Abigail Davenport, a powerful magic wielder for The Agency, off guard and brutally murders her. In her efforts to survive, she breaks one of magic’s cardinal rules. She pulls the life force out of one man and uses that power to kill another. This action creates a dark shadow on her soul. Through divine intervention, Abigail is resurrected, but she returns with that dark shadow which tries to destroy her completely. She places her faith in the one man on earth that despises her, Lincoln, an operative for The Agency. He attempts to help her cope not only with her death but with the dark shadow causing her nightmares. In this historical novella based in The Path to Redemption Series universe, Abigail’s only hope is to accept the darkness inside her before it consumes her.
