Choreographer Lex Herren prides herself on graceful transitions. Yet, Lex is stuck in a perpetual rut, haunted by lifelong visions of a centuries-old royal murder—her own. In this novel about love, betrayal, and the power of second chances, Lex must dance with her shadows and reclaim her ghost story.
This time-crossing novel echoes the lush fantasy worlds of AN ECHO IN TIME and THE LOVE THAT SPLIT THE WORLD, unraveling mysteries linked to a Knights Templar curse while unearthing a duplicitous queen lost to history and a quantum loop of dangerous liaisons.
Just as Lex is offered her dream summer job at a theatre on the outskirts of New Orleans, her recurring nightmares morph into clear memories–a wedding to a mystery prince in 1305 Paris and a murder in the woods at the hands of a masked huntsman. She also communicates with a few stubborn spirits, a talent she struggles to hide while working in a supernatural hotbed.
Upon meeting a local celebrity musician, Luca St. James, Lex’s dreams reveal the identity of her prince. However, could Luca, once her royal match, also be the huntsman? Lex must watch her back as Luca is hired to play the lead in her production, and she unlocks a new gift for time travel. Lex’s fever dreams take on a new, chaotic life as other cast members are revealed as past life players, including Philip–formerly a dashing royal knight. Late-night rehearsals lead to a fated love triangle, but Lex can’t shake the feeling that a trap is set to ensnare her again. Will Lex embrace her otherworldly abilities and stop history from repeating?
