A New York Times bestseller! A skeptic and a supernatural being make a crossroads deal to
achieve their own ends only to get more than they bargained for in this “irresistible elixir of
romance and suspense” ( Kirkus Reviews ) from the New York Times bestselling author of Spell
Bound and So This Is Ever After . Seventeen-year-old Ellery is a non-believer in a region
where people swear the supernatural is real. Sure they’ve been stuck in a five-year winter
but there’s got to be a scientific explanation. If goddesses were real they wouldn’t abandon
their charges like this leaving farmers like Ellery’s family to scrape by. Knox is a
familiar from the Other World a magical assistant sent to help humans who have made crossroads
bargains. But it’s been years since he heard from his queen and Knox is getting nervous about
what he might find once he returns home. When the crossroads demons come to collect Knox he
panics and runs. A chance encounter down an alley finds Ellery coming to Knox’s rescue
successfully fending off his would-be abductors. Ellery can’t quite believe what they’ve
seen. And they definitely don’t believe the nonsense this unnervingly attractive guy spews
about his paranormal origins. But Knox needs to make a deal with a human who can tether him to
this realm and Ellery needs to figure out how to stop this winter to help their family. Once
their bargain is struck there’s no backing out and the growing connection between the two
might just change everything.
