In seven days, she's going to die.The terrible virus that has kept her holed up at home under a mountain of fuzzy blankets with quaking chills in the middle of summer is, in fact, not a virus at all. So too the surreal, violent fever dreams - they're not dreams.Can she save herself? Probably not. She never has before, not in a single one of her previous lives, so it seems unlikely she will this time, but that doesn't mean she won't try.The Matter of Abbygale Neely is a fast-paced story about how true love isn't love, time isn't time, magic is real, and the devil is indeed out to get you.
