Description
Letting her former life find her was never part of the plan—and meeting a man with a dark, arcane past was certainly not in the cards.
Nora is breaking away from her life in Puth, North Dakota, determined to start fresh somewhere she can't be found. But first, she must return to the small town of Journey, Manitoba, to prevent her family from desecrating the historic castle she fell in love with as a child. Her quest leads her on a journey of love and mysticism when she encounters an unexpected ally, Leon the bartender, who holds a remarkable secret.
Visions of an ancient legend begin to haunt Nora, and as her connection with Leon deepens, so does the uncertainty. Her determination to preserve the king’s legacy takes her to the heart of the castle's secrets. Opening Leon's perilous past, as it begins reaching for her - everything shatters.
Nora must summon courage to face her destiny, battling the unimaginable to save herself and protect the innocence of the enchanted town she loves. Will she succeed, or will darkness consume her?

Journey’s Arcane was an epic adventure with paranormal aspects and a sprinkle of mythology. Each twist and turn of the plot keeps the reader turning the page to find out what happens next! This story follows Nora as she decides to separate herself from her well to do family with less than desirable morals. She has one final task to complete to right another potential wrong that her family is planning. Once this task is complete she plans to find somewhere to start her life over. Her plans all change when she meets a mysterious bartender that captures her attention and her heart. This was an exciting tale full of dysfunctional family systems, gaslighting, mythology and a small town banding together to save everything.

Eda Scott you have delivered the perfect blend of happily ever after and darkness along the journey.
So many quotable moments! Delightful journey of a young girl with a pure heart. Her life is full of hardship and unfair trials but staying true to herself love wins!
I loved the intersprinkling of both Egyptian and Norse gods. Totally unique and I can hardly wait for her next book. We'll done!!!
