When Merritt receives a royal invitation from Queen Victoria herself, it seems like a dream come true—she's offering to find his uncle Owein a human body after centuries of being trapped in the form of a dog. But once the family arrives in London to navigate the glittering world of British wizardry and royal intrigue, something feels deeply wrong, and Hulda's magical premonitions warn of danger lurking beneath the surface. With Owein determined to finally claim the life he's been denied and supernatural threats closing in from unexpected corners, Merritt and Hulda must decide how far they're willing to go to protect the people they love. It's a captivating blend of magical mystery, found family devotion, and the thrilling question of whether destiny can be rewritten—even when chaos itself is working against you.
