If you had the chance to bring magic back to the modern world, would you risk everything to do it?
Brenda Mountain thinks her biggest problem is paying rent on her NYC apartment.
She has no idea she carries the power to bring magic back into a world that has forgotten it.
Then she accepts a mysterious job offer, and ends up kidnapped, hunted, and standing beside an elf prince who claims she holds the key to change the world.
Prince Valor watched his elvish brothers die one by one.
In a final act of desperation, he was sent through a rift in time to save his people from extinction. He has days to open a gateway to safety.
The only problem?
He needs Brenda, a woman who doesn't even know magic runs in her blood.
Now the Brotherhood, who have waited six centuries for magic's return, and the Kildare Corporation, who have prepared just as long to stop it, are closing in.
As assassins hunt them and reality itself begins to fracture, Brenda faces an impossible choice:
Bring magic back to the modern world...
Or let an entire civilization vanish forever.
Because magic doesn't follow modern rules.
Unicorns aren't gentle.
Fairies aren't friendly.
And humanity's supremacy is about to be challenged.
The age of magic is returning.
Ready or not.
The age of magic is returning. And the world will never be the same.
In a desperate race across America to a sacred canyon in Arizona, Brenda must master powers she barely understands, survive enemies with centuries of knowledge, and make an impossible choice: save Valor's people and unleash magic on an unprepared world, or let an entire civilization die to keep humanity safe.
The gateway opens at dawn. Thousands of lives hang in the balance. And Brenda is running out of time.
For readers who love Brandon Sanderson's intricate magic systems, N.K. Jemisin's world-shaking stakes, and epic fantasies where one person's choice reshapes civilization, THE WITNESS delivers a fresh take on the return of magic with consequences that echo across time itself.
Book One of a complete trilogy chronicling magic's return and the war for Earth's future.
