You’d think saving the fae world from a magic-sucking warlock would earn you a returned text message.

Instead, forty-something bookstore owner Angie Daly has been ghosted by her elven allies and her favorite miniature giant. She’s back to the daily grind, juggling a struggling business, a collapsing local economy, and a mysterious bank error that suggests someone else may be living her life.

A doppelgänger. Probably.

Meanwhile, the Pen of Lore, a powerful magical artifact capable of rewriting history and shaping how humankind perceives magic, has been stolen. The fae authorities want Angie to retrieve it. Honestly, she’d rather just be bookselling.

As her town grows stranger and the boundary between worlds continues to blur, Angie learns that being a warrior witch is not all it’s cracked up to be. With unreliable allies and dangerous magic awakening inside her, she must embrace what she is becoming and hunt down the Pen of Lore.

Because some stories are not written to have happy endings.

They are written to be erased.
