About this ebook

The New York Times bestselling author of This Present Darkness and “master storyteller” (Karen Kingsbury, New York Times bestselling author) crafts a stunning thriller about a grieving husband who encounters a mysterious teen identical to his dead wife. Is this magic at work or something darker?

After a car wreck tragically claims the life of his wife and magic partner, Mandy, Dane Collins finds himself in a quaint coffee shop transfixed by a magician whose illusions even he, a seasoned professional, cannot explain. Even more mysterious is the performer herself.

Nineteen-year-old Mandy has never met him, doesn’t know him, is certainly not in love with him, but is in every respect identical to the young beauty he met and married some forty years earlier. They begin a furtive relationship as mentor and protégée, but as Dane tries to figure out who Mandy really is, the two have no idea that she is being watched by those who not only possess all the answers but who also have the power to decide her fate.

Ratings and reviews

Love the...think outside the box mentality he brings to his stories. More then a few of the, oh wow moments, which we come to expect from him

Have always loved Frank Peretti's books. They're sure to keep your interest and attention. And this one was no different! Loved it! My heart was beating so fast at the end, the suspense was excellent.

A Pastor referred me to these books by Mr. Peretti when I was going through some stressful times on my job years ago and they gave me comfort. I have bought several of his earlier books because when I loan them out I never get them back. Now I have started my collection of his books. I hope he continue to write more books. God Bless Him Always.
