Overview

The boundary between worlds never sleeps. Neither does she.

When fifty-two-year-old Morgan inherits her grandmother’s isolated Vermont cottage, she expects quiet, solitude, and a fresh start. What she doesn’t expect is magic—ancient, powerful, and unsettled.

The cottage is ringed with wards that hum with energy at night. The nearby town of Millbrook hides a hidden paranormal community. And Morgan, brilliant but overwhelmed by the world, discovers she has inherited not just a house but a sacred role: guardian of the fragile boundary between realms.

With no guide but her grandmother’s cryptic journal, Morgan must learn to:

• Decipher living wards that shift with emotion
• Face forces that slither through cracks between worlds
• Navigate a community that watches rather than explains

And amid all this danger, someone unexpected becomes her anchor—another woman whose quiet strength challenges Morgan’s fear of connection.

Magic drives the danger. Community shapes the story. And love is a steady heartbeat in the background.

Can Morgan learn to trust herself before something slips through the wards and devours everything she’s beginning to call home?
