Ezri would give up her magic to solve her mother’s murder. But forces beyond her control—both magical and mundane—have other plans. Despite turning her back on the magical community the day her mother died, she’s spent the last decade honing her magical skills.

As the clock ticks ever closer to the Vernal Equinox and the prophecy that’s plagued her since childhood, Ezri has no choice but to greet her destiny head on. Will she solve the murders and uncover the truth about her mother’s death, or will she lose the life she’s built for herself in the process?
