Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Book 15 of the beloved Thorne Witches series drops Abbie through a portal into 1875 Arizona Territory for a time-travel paranormal romance with real stakes. If you love Outlander-style time displacement with witchy magic and a devoted hero who will defy the laws of magic to reach you, this delivers.

Synopsis

For fans of: time-travel romance, gritty western fantasy, and fated, high-stakes love stories. Perfect for readers of Outlander, The Time Traveler’s Wife, and The Witch’s Daughter. I mean, if Tombstone and Practical Magic had a baby, it would look a lot like Discovered Magic. The Fates have a wicked sense of humor. They’ve made Wilder Thorne and Abbie Monroe their newest punch line… but nobody’s laughing. One moment, Abbie’s anchored to solid rock, the next she’s tumbling through a portal and crashing straight into 1875 Arizona Territory with no clue how she got there or how in the devil she’s supposed to get home. On the other side of the unstable rift, Wilder is willing to risk everything and defy the laws of magic to reach her. Perdition Ridge isn’t exactly Small Town USA. Outlaws are plentiful, and mercy’s been extinct for years. To survive, Abbie must rely on her instincts and a few unlikely allies: a disillusioned gambler, an indomitable sheriff, and a Traveler who’s lost his mojo. But the Fates are tightening their strings, making the climb more treacherous and the fall unforgiving. Abbie and Wilder must do what they do best—dig in, rely on each other, and aim for the summit. Discovered Magic explores the thin line between destiny and defiance. These two are far too stubborn to let the Fates have the last word.
