The Blanchard Witches: Stitches in Time is the enthralling third installment in the Blanchard Witches series, weaving together time-travel, family secrets, and the enduring power of love. This richly imagined contemporary fantasy takes readers on a spellbinding journey across generations as the Blanchard family faces their most personal and mysterious challenge yet.
Two years after the passing of Olympia Blanchard, Artemis has stepped into her role as matriarch of the Blanchard coven. Balancing the weight of her family's legacy with the demands of her own life, she begins to settle into her position when an unforeseen event shatters the Blanchard family's hard-won peace. During a rare family gathering, multiple members of the Blanchard clan inexplicably vanish, leaving behind only questions and panic.
Beryl Blanchard finds herself inexplicably thrust back in time, encountering a young Olympia and her eccentric friend, Zelda. Meanwhile, other family members are scattered across timelines, each confronting their own challenges in eras which will test their resilience and ingenuity. Seth lands in the 19th century, where he meets Blaze Blanchard, an ancestor whose story was nearly lost to history. Yasmine discovers a bittersweet reunion with loved ones in her own childhood past, while strong-willed Fable lands in a time when women held no authority within their family.
As Artemis and her remaining family members in the present scramble to uncover the truth behind their loved ones' disappearances, long-buried secrets about their family history and the nature of their powers come to light. Armed with only a fragmented warning from Olympia before she died, the Blanchards must band together to rescue their family before they become lost in time forever.
The stakes are higher than ever, and the family's survival depends on their ability to reconcile the past with the present, and hope no one in the past inadvertently changes something. The Blanchards must grapple with questions of identity, destiny, and what it truly means to be part of a magical lineage...especially when a few life-changing surprises come their way.
