Ari, Merlin and her Rainbow knights must pull off a heist thousands of years in the past – to save humanity’s future.
The battle against the tyrannical Mercer corporation may have been won, but the war has only just begun. Now Ari and her cursed wizard Merlin must travel back in time to the unenlightened Middle Ages and steal King Arthur’s Grail – the very definition of impossible.
But the time travellers have to tread carefully. If they come face-to-face with the original Arthurian legend, it could produce a ripple effect that changes the course of history. It’s a risky game where the past can be even more dangerous than the future.
Teodora di Sangro is used to hiding her magical ability to
transform enemies into music boxes and mirrors. Nobody knows she's
a strega--and she aims to keep it that way. The she meets
Cielo--and everything changes. A strega who can switch outward form
as effortlessly as turning a page in a book, Cielo shows Teodora
what her life could be like if she masters the power she's been
keeping secret. And not a moment too soon: the ruler of Vinalia has
poisoned the patriarchs of the country's five controlling families,
including Teodora's father, and demands that each family send a son
to the palace. If she wants to save her family, Teodora must travel
to the capital--not disguised as a boy, but transformed into one.
But the road to the capital, and to bridling her powers, is full of
enemies and complications, including the one she least expects:
falling in love.
