Enter the Sinclair Gallery where paintings are alive and works of art that deserve endless adoration, especially when Elsie Lovelace learns that one portrait isn't merely art; he's a man who's been stuck inside his frame for a century — perfect for fans of Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries . “A perfect read.” — Taylor Epperson, author of Second Times a Charm As a docent in a gallery of magical paintings, Elsie feels more at home amidst fantastical creatures and sentient portraits than anywhere else. One portrait in particular has captured her interest and maybe even her heart: Theodore Quill, an enigmatic aristocrat who hides within his painting from all but Elsie. When the gallery is robbed, Elsie does something of questionable legality—something she never thought she could do. She reaches into the painting and frees Theodore from his portrait. But Theo is no painting, and he never was. Over a century ago, he became trapped within one, rendering him a mere spectator of the real world.  Now stranded in 1899, Theodore has no home to return to. Looking to help Theo, Elsie joins him on a search for remnants of his past. But she discovers more than she bargained for. Elsie's ability may cause more harm than good; Theo’s entrapment wasn't entirely accidental, and he’s keeping a fatal secret. Elsie must race against the clock to save the man she's fallen for or risk losing him forever.
