Synopsis

"I lived in a world of magic and secrets, and now I was caught in its deadly spiral." ~ Lydia Reza

A darkness is coming...

One night. A split second, is all it takes to change someone's life forever. At only nine, Lydia Reza comes to face to face with something you only hear in fairy tales, and death itself. What was a peaceful night, turns into a harrowing bloodbath. 

Now at seventeen, the only thing she has to worry about is not letting people know about what she and her family are, witches, and graduating of course. But when darkness rolls back into town, bringing terror in its wake, Lydia and her friends will do anything to stop it, changing each and every one of their lives forever. However, what no one realized was that the past was already coming back with a vengeance.
