Three lives. One debt. No escape from time.
Ivy Manning has the chest.She always dreamed of traveling through time-but now that dream comes with a price she cannot escape.
Marked by lightning scars and bound by ancient magic, Ivy must follow in the footsteps of her great-grandfathers, Robert and James, and fulfill her family's oldest obligation: save three lives lost to history. If she fails, the debt will claim her-and she will be lost in time forever.
But Ivy is not traveling alone.
When two magical chests fused into one, something dark survived the merging. Lucien-driven by grief, rage, and a hunger for revenge-has become a shadow in Ivy's wake, pulled through time after her. He follows her across centuries, determined to make her pay for the destruction of his father, Alaric.
Each jump brings Ivy closer to fulfilling the debt... and closer to Lucien's wrath.
As the past closes in and the cost of failure grows heavier, Ivy must prove she is more than a traveler. She must become a steward of time-strong enough to save lives, wise enough to resist power, and brave enough to face the darkness hunting her.
Because this time, the debt is hers.
And time never forgives.
A Debt Returned is the third book in the Ancestral Debt series, a sweeping time-travel fantasy about legacy, responsibility, and what it truly means to earn the right to protect history.
