A doomed empath. A powerless witch. An impossible quest...
Super empath Lilly is almost relieved to be living her last human life. With only her spirit guide, Jack, for company and the world unravelling around them, she longs for the peace of the Eternal Forest.
When catastrophic floods force Lilly from her home, fate intervenes, and she finds refuge with Storm, a widowed ex-witch who has lost her magic.
As Lilly falls in love with life and finally finds the family and community she has always dreamed of, the two become entwined in a desperate mission to find the First Ethereal – the one being prophesied to save the world from imminent destruction.
But they’re not the only ones seeking this mythical being. Dark forces, driven by fear and greed, are closing in, determined to seize the Ethereal’s power at any cost – and they’ll destroy anyone who stands in their way.
As the clock ticks down, Storm must unlock the secret of her missing magic, while Lilly confronts the devastating truth about who Jack really is. Are some truths better left buried?

I love the genre magical realism. I found this book quite by chance and I havent wanted to be parted from reading it.
The story is captivating, I was grabbed immediately and taken on a journey of magic, both lost and found, current global climate issues and wonderful characters who you fall in love with. Their own stories and connections joyful to follow.
I especially loved the tender and compassionate way the characters are with non human animals in the story. They too, as important and complex as all the human characters. This, I feel, is testament to the authors deep insight and compassion.
I loved this book, it made me cheer and also well up in emotion. Friendship and connection so powerful.
This would make a brilliant movie.
Thank you for such a wonderful story, I look forward to reading the sequel.
I fell in love with the characters and the world in the first ethereal, the world building and character development is done beautifully. The story is, without giving anything away unique and intriguing and not something I'd seen before. Highly recommend.
