“All of history is open to you now. You need only to choose which era you want to claim as your own.”
I’ve got enough magic going on in my life. It’s tough to integrate with society when you can summon ice in the heat of summer. But now I’m charging ahead toward a normal life: I’m going to college, and then I’ll work at my father’s corporation. My ice magic can take a back seat for a while.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans when it led me to a fairy, a gorge—and a demonic relic rumored to harbor the power over time itself. Great.
Using this thing might go against my beliefs, but I have to protect it, if nothing else. And maybe along the way I’ll get brave enough to admit my feelings for Hans, my most trusted mentor. No problem that he’s a Teuton priest, my father’s accountant, and utterly uninterested in romance. What could go wrong?

C.L. Carhart has been writing since the age of 4, dabbling in everything from children’s books, to fantasy, to historical fiction. Eventually, her lifelong interest in European history inspired her to create a paranormal fantasy realm based on the Teutonic people groups. The His Name Was Augustin series provides a first glimpse at this other-world—a place rife with ancient mysteries and dark magic.
Born and raised in southern New Jersey, C.L. spends her free time hiking with her husband, enjoying metal music, snuggling her feline familiars, and dreaming of the wonders of Germany.
