Overview

Six hundred years ago, the world's greatest wizard sacrificed himself to purge magic from existence. His spell is finally breaking. For generations, the Brotherhood has waited in secret, preparing for the day when magic would return and the elves could cross through time to reclaim their place in the world. But they've lost track of their most vital piece: the Witness, a bloodline with powers that can bridge past and future. Brenda Mountain knows nothing of her heritage. She doesn't know her family guarded ancient secrets for five centuries. She doesn't know her dormant abilities are the key to opening a gateway through time. And she definitely doesn't know that multiple organizations will kill to control her. When Valor, the last surviving elf prince, appears through a rift in reality, everything Brenda thought she knew shatters. His people are dying in the past, trapped by a plague designed to eliminate all magical beings. Only she can help him complete the spell that will save them. But the enemies of magic have not been idle. The Kildare organization has spent six hundred years preparing for this moment. Led by zealots who believe magic's return will destroy humanity, they'll stop at nothing to finish what their prophet started. As Brenda's powers awaken and ancient forces stir across the world, she discovers that bringing back magic means bringing back everything: the wonders and the horrors, the heroes and the monsters. Unicorns in the wild. Fairies with an attitude. Vampires rising from centuries of sleep. Dragons stirring beneath mountains. 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.
