Alice Price-Healy gave up her life for fifty years to focus completely on the search for her missing husband. The danger of focus like that is that it leaves little room for thinking about what happens after…and now that shes finally managed to find Thomas, she has no idea what shes supposed to do next. The fact that he comes with a surrogate daughter who may or may not have some connection to Alices recently adopted grandson is just icing on the complicated cake.
So the three of them are heading for the most complicated place in the universe: theyre going home.
But things on Earth have changed while Alice, Thomas, and Sally have been away. The Covenant of St. George, antagonized by Veritys declaration of war and Sarahs temporary relocation of an entire college campus, is trying to retake North America from the cryptids and cryptozoologists whove been keeping the peace for the past hundred years. And theyre starting in New York.
Alice and company have barely been back for an hour before the Ocean Lady and the Queen of the Routewitches are sending them to New York to help, and they find themselves embroiled in the politics of dragons, kidnappings, and of course, the most dangerous people of all: family.
Getting back to normal may be the hardest task Alice has undertaken yet.
