A private plane cuts through the winter night. David sits back in his leather seat. The notebook in his jacket pocket is filled with familiar phrases, urgent reminders, but he struggles to recognize his own handwriting. A mystery. The world, once so knowable, has been rendered inscrutable.This is what David knows: Cody, his assistant, will shepherd him along the voyage. A stopover in London. Dinner with his adult daughter. His final destination is Zurich. David glides through hotel rooms and foreign cities, running out the clock on his mortal life. His grasp on the present slips away, and the past rushes in: the Sunday roasts of childhood. The stiff clothes meant only for church. The losses and missteps that punctuate a life. As David’s arrival in Zurich looms, a portrait of an unraveling mind emerges. 

Dr. Frankie Giovanni knows there’s a scientific explanation for everything. But she lives in West Harbor, and thanks to “witch tourism,” there are suddently witches everywhere.

But thanks to some troublesome young witches --- and his own psychic “superpower” --- everything goes wrong. If only Frankie could admit there might not be a logical reason for everything, including the flames that ignite whenever the two of them kiss. Ash hopes to change that, but first he and Frankie have to find the missing girls, as well as the truth about what’s happening in West Harbor.

Sisters Vivi and Calla Nguyễn have little in common. Vivi lives a predictable life, working as an art conservator at a museum, carefully preserving pieces of the past while refusing to examine her own dark history. Calla leads a much bolder existence. She’s an accomplished artist with a flair for the dramatic, as well as a recovering addict, who intrigues everyone she meets. Months after the two fall out in the wake of their father’s death, Calla appears on the steps of the museum with a sketch and a letter she found in their father’s belongings. The sketch is an exact copy of Blue Mirror, a striking painting by Vietnamese artist K.P. Lý. In the letter, Lý writes about a mysterious lost work of art, and Calla is convinced it is meant for their family --- that it was their father’s deathbed wish for her and Vivi to find it together.

And who better to start with than their embarrassingly uncivilized (yet frustratingly attractive) friend, James?

But which of them will change more?

After a magical night out on the town with her boyfriend Jack, Emily wakes alone in a huge bed in a well-lit room. But the pink ceiling and dark corners are nothing like the hotel she and Jack rented. More worrisome yet: Emily has no memory of this place from the night before. A woman’s voice directs her to remain in bed. And beyond the end of the bed, a picture frame upon an easel --- a frame with no canvas, no painting, no art. Only...there is the silhouette of a person Emily does not recognize. And the way the woman talks...and the things she says. She’s acting as if Emily herself is the painting. The still life. The art. Emily is scared. But it’s immediately clear Jack’s life is on the line with her own. And if she attempts to escape the bed neither will survive the experience. 

Tech entrepreneur Inigo Frank has perfected commercial time travel, though it’s so expensive that it’s open only to the very wealthiest. His company has been approved for one route: a journey back to London in 1941, to the days of the Blitz, allowing the super-rich to experience the aerial bombardment of the capital during World War II. To immortalize his achievement, Frank enlists filmmaker Phoebe Hunt to create a fly-on-the-wall documentary. On her first day shadowing Frank, she is set to witness the return of a billionaire and his family from their trip to the past. But instead of an awe-filled return, she captures the group arriving bloodied and traumatized, with one of their number missing. Phoebe recognizes the missing woman, knowing she’s not who she claims to be. It seems increasingly clear that she had sinister motives for returning to the past --- and that people close to Phoebe are in danger.

When ghosts, multiple wills and a shocking marriage certificate bring Lord Burnsby’s past crashing into his present, Burnsby promptly dies, leaving Evie free to remarry.
