Publisher Description

An instant New York Times bestseller!

“Will keep you guessing until the last page.” —Cinda Williams Chima, New York Times bestselling author

A girl travels back in time to find a mysterious book that could save her future in Lisa Maxwell’s “splendid series opener” (Kirkus Reviews).

Stop the Magician.
Steal the book.
Save the future.


In modern-day New York, magic is all but extinct. The remaining few who have an affinity for magic—the Mageus—live in the shadows, hiding who they are. Any Mageus who enters Manhattan becomes trapped by the Brink, a dark energy barrier that confines them to the island. Crossing it means losing their power—and often their lives.

Esta is a talented thief, and she's been raised to steal magical artifacts from the sinister Order that created the Brink. With her innate ability to manipulate time, Esta can pilfer from the past, collecting these artifacts before the Order even realizes she’s there. And all of Esta’s training has been for one final job: traveling back to 1902 to steal an ancient book containing the secrets of the Order—and the Brink—before the Magician can destroy it and doom the Mageus to a hopeless future.

But Old New York is a dangerous world ruled by ruthless gangs and secret societies, a world where the very air crackles with magic. Nothing is as it seems, including the Magician himself. And for Esta to save her future, she may have to betray everyone in the past.

Freakishly amazing

I want to start off by saying that this book took me awhile nit because I wasn’t getting into. I didn’t want it to end. I really got into this book and the characters and the different times. I like books that do a little of time travel. I can’t believe that I haven’t read this book sooner. I highly recommend this book. I cant wait to get into book 2. Too see what happens with Esta and Harte.

A good surprise and an amazing story

I’ve seen this book around and I picked it up not expecting much and I loved it. I loved the main characters even though they were so frustrating at times. Give it a try and I’m sure you won’t regret it.
