Can the gates of perception be bypassed?
The year is 1911. A rash love affair with a member of the Irish Mafia catapults Luna Mulkerrins into scandal, murder, scorn and decadent friendships in Ragtime Manhattan. Escaping from the blaze of publicity, a new Luna emerges: Blythe of the Seven Gates. Her meteoric rise as a magician leads to fame, vaudeville, silent movies and the notoriety of a damaging court case. Can Luna reclaim her reputation and reinvent herself as an independent woman of the time?
"This book is as enchanting as the magic tricks within. Heartbreaking, thrilling and powerful, it's a journey you won't want to miss." -- Jo Niederhoff, Seattle Book review
