Highest ranking: #16 in Paranormal The arrival of the gorgeous Sterling brothers triggers a series of gruesome, inexplicable and magical events in the small town of Willow Creek. And at the center of it all is seventeen year old Cordelia Bishop. A dabble in Wicca is all it takes for her to unearth hidden powers, and a dark, messy past-both of which are centuries old. Before she can even get a grasp on her newfound discoveries, she's hurled into a world of dark magic and blood-lust. She'll have to navigate this new world, while trying to get a handle on her budding powers, keep her family safe, deal with a blossoming romance with the smokin' hot Cal Sterling, and an uneasy relationship with his brooding older brother Kol. Throw in terrifying nightmares of past lives, and you have Cordelia's new life. The Sterlings assure her they're on the same side, but that becomes harder and harder to believe when it becomes more and more evident they're hiding something. But as Cordelia will come to understand, the past repeats itself and so do mistakes. And in order to avoid being burned at the stake, she'll have to break her old habits. Too bad old habits die hard.
