Summary

Every question has an answer, but Ali, the Seer, might have to die again to find hers.

Since a childhood brush with death, Ali has been obsessed with one question: where do we go when we die? Now pregnant, she’s haunted by a vision of her own death on the operating table.

Then, as Ali nears that threshold, an ancient Egyptian scroll written by a Magician of Isis and addressed to “The Seer,” appears deep within the archives of the Brooklyn Museum. As she begins translating it, golden threads shimmer in the corners of her vision, her gift of heka — magic — grows stronger, and the world she thought she knew starts to unravel. 

Peeling away the veil, Ali sees a group of women solemnly approaching a crystal pool, a jeweled hand writing by candlelight, and a pair of sinister emerald eyes watching her from the vastness. Beneath it all, a powerful Oracle weaves the threads of Ali’s story into her divine mission.

Before she can meet her child, Ali will have to remember who she really is… and how to break out of a prison the size of a planet.
