The kingdom of Farsala is broken and black clouds hang heavy over the arid lands. Former grand-mage of the high court, Cyril Laverre, has spent the last decade hiding himself away in a hut by the sea, trying to catch fish for his cat familiar, Shoestring, and suppressing his guilt over the kingdom's ruin. For he played his part--for as the king, Eufrates Margrave, descended further into paranoia, violence, and madness, his grand-mage--and husband--Cyril didn't stop him.

When Shoestring dies, Cyril knows his days are numbered. But are there enough left to have a last go at putting things right? With his remaining lifeblood, he casts a powerful spell that catapults him back in time to a happier period of Farsalan history--a time when it was Eufrates's older sister Tig destined to ascend to the throne, before she died of a disease, and a time when Cyril and Eufrates's tentative romance had not yet bloomed. If he can just make sure Eufie never becomes king, then maybe he can prevent the kingdom's tragic fate. But the magical oath he made to his husband at the altar, transcending both time and space, may prove to be his most enduring feat of magic to date.

Featuring a formidable great aunt, a friends-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance, a love quadrangle and a crow familiar, this charming story is sure to satisfy fans of fanfiction.
