In a Victorian Ireland of magic, poetry and rebellion, Ida Jameson, an amateur occultist, reaches out for power but captures Laura Armstrong, a modern-day graphic artist, instead. When Ida channels Laura into the body of celebrated beauty and Irish freedom-fighter Maud Gonne, Laura falls in love with the young poet W.B. Yeats. Their love affair entwines with Irish history and weaves through Yeats' poetry - until Ida discovers something she wants more than magic in the subterranean spaces between Laura's time and her own.
Skyler White crafts challenging fiction for a changing world. Populated with angels and devils, rock stars, scientists, and revolutionaries, her dark stories explore the secret places where myth and modernity collide. She is the author of and Falling, Fly and In Dreams Begin.
