When the sun rises, and the ritual magic takes hold, blood must flow. Madeline left her old life behind when she chose to stay in the magical world of Cartref. Here, she has a husband, a home, and her arcane studies. But the old life isn't quite finished with Madeline. Madeline's old nemesis from the law firm has been snatched through the veils between the realms, and she's landed in the hands of a people known as the Choi. At first, Madeline believes it was one of her own spells gone awry, but it becomes clear that the Choi have their own, very dark schemes in mind. Madeline can't let a former enemy become a sacrifice in a brutal blood magic ritual. Skye Greatmother knows that her people, the Choi, face extinction without the ritual. She's bet the future of her people on the blood power of a strange woman from a foreign land. For the Choi to live, someone has to die, and if Madeline can't figure out another way, it's going to be Lee - or Madeline herself. The epic saga of The Madeline Journeys continues in book two, The New Normal; a story of acceptance and forgiveness alongside sacrifice and terror.
