Inherited Magic: A Short Story

Description

When London risk analyst Meredith Trevelyn inherits her grandmother’s remote Cornwall cottage, she discovers it comes with an impossible condition: guard the doorways between worlds, or watch reality itself unravel.

Meredith built her career on cold facts and statistical probabilities, deliberately rejecting the “superstitions” that drove her from her grandmother’s house fifteen years ago. But returning to claim her inheritance, she finds doors that lead to moonlit forests with two moons, talking fox-creatures who know her name, and a cottage that rearranges itself after sunset.

Her grandmother’s journal reveals the terrifying truth—the Trevelyn bloodline has guarded dimensional thresholds for centuries, and the barriers are failing. Shadow entities probe the weakening defenses, waiting for the autumn equinox when the veils between worlds grow thin. Without a blood guardian, they’ll pour through unchecked.

Perfect for readers who devoured The Ten Thousand Doors of January and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, this spellbinding fantasy weaves family legacy with otherworldly magic and the courage to accept an impossible destiny.

Now Meredith faces an agonizing choice: flee to her safe, logical life in London and doom countless worlds to invasion, or embrace the magic she’s spent years denying and become the guardian the dimensions desperately need. But with malevolent forces already testing her defenses and time running out, even acceptance might not be enough.
