Henry turns to the only person in town he trusts—an enchanting, sharp-tongued, green-eyed witch with a quiet strength and a presence that feels eerily familiar. There’s something between them—undeniable, electric, and older than memory. There's just one little problem—Henry doesn't buy any of this, and time is running out.
