[Purity Trilogy 01] • The Spaces Between Us

Purity of heart. Purity of thought. Purity of motive: Agnes Morris heard these words once, and they led to her spirit guide, Image, who has been teaching her how to develop and master secret, arcane abilities like Astral Projection and Alchemy. When she disappears during a family visit at Christmastime, and reappears in her brother Marc’s apartment 1000 miles away--34 hours later--looking exactly the same down to her tea-soaked pants, she is forced to reveal that his quiet, unremarkable sister is capable of extraordinary things.

After disappearing again when Marc presses her for answers, he is led down a strange path of his own: A woman calls to him across time and space, urging him to join her in the ancient city of Nineveh. Through her, the seductive and mysterious Inanna, he is brought face to face with Tobias, a man of immense power and a deep-seated desire for revenge against all who have wronged him.

Agnes seeks the aid of her mentors at the Manor, a society devoted to the advancement and understanding of the occult, to learn the truth about Tobias and how to stop him from achieving his destructive ends. But the Manor has deadly secrets of its own, and other plans for Agnes.

When Marc’s apartment burns down and he vanishes without a trace, Agnes must find a way to unite her hostile sisters (Jacqueline, a high-powered executive, and Gracie, a sarcastic part-time skating rink attendant) and save him from an ancient evil, or lose him forever and tear her family further apart. But what chance does she have against a fearsome demigod, who can kill with a flick of a finger?
