The exchange quickly backfires with Bregon stealing three talismans from his sisters, the goddesses of fate and time, and a battle soon ensues. Until the talismans are returned, the three sisters can no longer control fate and time, and Charles Edward Stewart and his descendants are cursed to lose everything on their 40th birthdays<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Erika Lewis was born and raised in Washington, D.C., a place filled with politicians, but also magic.

Her list of credits straddle the comic and novel space, including Game of Shadows from Macmillan's Tor Books, two Legendary Comics series FIREBRAND and ACURSIAN, and The 49th Key from Heavy Metal Publishing. She resides in the sunshine state of California. When she's not writing she's usually hiking, playing video games poorly, or at one of the bookstore or comic shops by her house. And always drinking coffee... <p/>In collaboration with her brother, John Barrowman (Arrow, Torchwood, Dr. Who), Carole has written two biographies and five novels, including the acclaimed "Hollow Earth" (Simon & Schuster), a middle grade fantasy series about a brother and sister who can bring their drawings to life and animate into art. Their next novel, "Conjuror," will be released in the UK this spring. Carole and John's most recent collaboration is for DC Comics. "Arrow: The Dark Archer" explores Malcolm Merlyn's backstory. Carole is also an English professor and Director of Creative Studies in Writing at Alverno College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a regular contributor on WTMJ4's The Morning Blend, and writes a column and book reviews for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
