About this ebook
A castle courtyard, warm and sweet in the nighttime.
A pair of teen girls, huddled together and giggling.
The longing touch of young hands, clasped together out of sight.
Margery has had past-life flashbacks for as long as she can remember.
They're always the same, though: two girls at varying ages in their lives, running around in a thriving desert castle.
She doesn't know much more about them than that.
Then she meets her crush, Nabiha, in the backstage area of the singer's concert, and that encounter changes everything…

SHE REMEMBERED RUNNING. A farm. A chase. A day, bright, and clear.
Girlish laughter. Falling back on grass. Trees swaying above her.
Then, a girl’s voice: Mom says I won’t be able to come out once my lessons start.
Then, her own voice, also small and girlish: So don’t start them.
A face: soft brown skin, surrounded by a jewel-colored silk hijab, slowly lowering, leaning onto her shoulder.
A thrill in Mar’s stomach. The feel of rough linen under her palms, wiping clamminess away. Her pinky brushing the side of the hijabi’s hand.
The hijabi’s fingers entwining with her own.
Margery?
Mar startled, the vision fading. It brought her back to the stacks, to the patron she’d been guiding down the library shelves…to the pile of books now resting on her feet.
Feet that hurt from having books fall on them.
The patron, an old woman, gripped her purse tight, eyes wide, hovering at the end of the aisle. Beside her, Mar’s boss, a prim lady in a smart suit who was now coming towards Mar, laying a hand on her arm.
Mar’s body seized up. I—I’m sorry, I—I can explain—
Why don’t you take the day, Margery?
her boss whispered. You seem to be under some kind of stress, and it appears to be making your little…condition worse.
I’m sorry,
Mar whispered all the way back to her desk.
The number of eyes on her was unsettling. Worse, her boss stood over her as she gathered her stuff.
Come back when you’re better,
the woman said, leading Mar to the door and out to the mid-afternoon sunshine.
Mar stared at her feet, feeling humiliated. It didn’t seem fair. She didn’t ask for these visions, they came to her whether she wanted them to or not. And as for the timing of them…
Well, that had always been miserable, too, even if the visions themselves weren’t scary or daunting. If anything, they were just these pleasant things, bits and
