The New Normal: Book 2 of the Madeline Journeys P.a. Wilson

"She's not my friend."

Madeline left her old life behind when she chose to stay in the magical world of Cartref. Here, she has a husband, a home, and her arcane studies. Somehow, working as a lawyer just doesn't appeal anymore.

That life hasn't quite let her go, however.

It seems that she is not the only one to be summoned from Earth. By chance, her old nemesis from the law firm has been snatched through the veils between the realms, and she's landed in the hands of a people known as the Choi. At first, Madeline suspects it was one of her own spells gone awry, but it becomes clear that the Choi have their own, very dark schemes in mind. Madeline can't let a former enemy, even one as utterly frustrating as Lee Marshall, become a sacrifice in a brutal blood magic ritual.

Nevertheless, the Choi face extinction without it. Their leader, Skye Greatmother, has bet the future of her people on the blood power of a strange woman from a foreign land. For their tribe to live, someone has to die, and if Madeline can't figure out another way, it's going to be Lee - or Madeline herself.

When the sun rises, and the ritual magic takes hold, the blood must flow.
