Mirrors shift. Hidden paths appear. The house itself grows unstable. And something is coming through again.Some magic does not fade.Some secrets refuse to be forgotten.And at Moonfell, midnight always demands its due.Perfect for fans of Deborah Harkness and Nora Roberts, Gilded Moon is a richly atmospheric tale of historical mystery and contemporary magic, where legacy, power, and memory collide.
