The third book in her Chronoptika Quartet (also known as the Obsidian Mirror series): On a scorching Midsummer’s night, the peace of Wintercombe Abbey is shattered by haunting, shared visions that afflict its residents. Jake and Sarah are suddenly pulled through the enigmatic Obsidian Mirror, landing them amidst the chaos of the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Meanwhile, Oberon Venn grapples with a dire choice: remain human or forfeit his soul to the wild faerie realms. The narrative twists from masked balls to a desperate stand beneath the guillotine—and even a surreal walk on the moon—tying together magic, time travel, and folklore in a high-stakes, genre-blurring adventure. Blending elements of A Midsummer Night’s Dream with revolutionary France and eerie faerie lore, the novel is fast‑paced, atmospheric, and rich in imaginative detail. It continues the gripping tale of those “Time has snatched away,” deepening the consequences of their journey and setting the stage for the final installment.
