Thistlewood was built on a lie, a beautiful one. Eloise Quinn made sure of that. But as the spell that’s kept her town suspended in a perfect, endless autumn begins to unravel, so do the pieces of her past she tried to forget. Memories return in fragments, time starts moving again in unexpected ways, and the life she carefully chose begins to shift beneath her feet. Especially when Bash walks back into it. Caught between the boy who never left and the one she lost, Eloise is forced to confront a truth she can’t outrun—her magic didn’t just protect her, it changed everything. Now, as the town begins to remember alongside her, Eloise must decide what she’s willing to hold onto…and what she’s finally ready to let go. Even if it means breaking the life she fought so hard to keep.
