A little bit of magic is a dangerous thing…

Being born a witch has always been just a detail from my past, you know, like summer camp, or the time Timmy ate a bug, but now, thanks to one very pushy Immortal, a handful of mutant shifters, a psycho named Chaos and a nice guy (I think) named Emmet, my magic’s become a real pain in my ass.

San Diego was a totally chill choice for college, until this whole moon-cycle madness was thrown in my lap (more like shoved in my face) and now I’m bumbling with basic spells, crash studying to go from zero to fierce in a matter of days.

Only problem with this test is that it’s graded pass/fail where failure is death.

I wouldn’t wish magic on anyone. It attracts all the wrong entities, the kind you can’t run from, the kind who always find you, the kind who know your dark secrets even before you do.

Anastasia Carter is plagued by nightmares of death and coming destruction.
Countless nights she’s awoken, coated in sweat, unable to shake the feeling that someone was coming for her.
But nightmares are just tricks of the mind right?
Her world is turned upside-down when dreams become reality and a violent attack rips her away from the man she loves, landing her in a world parallel to her own.
In Terrenia, Anastasia must question everything she ever thought she knew.
As she struggles to come to terms with her new reality, she discovers she doesn’t have much time.
Terrenia is on the brink of a war that could destroy everything, and they are counting on her to stop it.

But the worst is yet to come, because Vincent has a card up his sleeve, and it could change the whole game.

Tired of moving yet again, Cat McLean finds herself in the town of Valleyview when her dad is transferred.
And if that wasn’t enough to deal with, shortly after their move, Cat’s involved and in a near-fatal car accident which lands her in the hospital where strange visions plague her recovery. When she wakes to find that she has the ability to see auras and to heal others, she’s horrified to discover an ancient evil that means to destroy her new home.

Cat must join forces with her sister and a new friend in a race to save her new town. Will she learn how to harness her new powers in time?
