Jasmin used to believe in alchemy and her grandfather's stories about it. But as she grows older, she too grows up and considers his tales a myth for kids. That is, until she turns seventeen--with her life put in danger--and she is forced to start believing in the existence of magic again. *** When Jasmin's life is in danger, her father decidedly enrolls her in Altheria Academy to protect her. It turns out that Altheria Academy is not just an ordinary school--it is a training ground for students like Jasmin, who has special abilities. Little by little, Jasmin realizes that everyone in Altheria Academy is protecting her from their enemy, the Raven Clan, who wants her power. But what if she discovers that her power is far more extraordinary than she initially thought? What if her ability can either save the magical world--or destroy it?

With a murderous secret and a dark history few but Helen Eriksson know, an uncertain path lies ahead of her. Helen's past, present and future are on a collision course with a sense of morality she wonders if she ever possessed. Her husband's corpse is barely cold, laid to rest under a shroud of suspicion directed at her by former peers at the FBI. Revenge boils in her veins against the one who shattered her perfect life, or the carefully constructed illusion of such. One thing Helen does not believe is that coincidences happen. So when an opportunity falls into her lap to slip through the web of the FBI investigation into her ex-husband's murder and darken the doorstep of the man she holds responsible for her professional ruin, Helen is hard pressed to resist the lure. Rather than arriving in Darkwater Bay anonymously, Helen walks with full knowledge into what she understands could be a trap sprung by her nemesis, Danny Datello. But the shield of a police detective's badge can't protect her from what she fears she has become by genetic birthright - a hardened murderer just like the father who shaped her into the woman she has become. What Helen doesn't count on is investment in anything but her own plot of revenge. To her surprise, the discovery of a body mere hours before her arrival in Darkwater Bay draws her into more than her own conflicted desires, but a corrupt city with its own secrets. Even more shocking is the realization that Helen craves more than Datello's punishment; justice for a dead victim.

Noong bata pa ako . . . Mayroon akong kaibigan na hindi ko makakalimutan. Simula pa ng bata ako lagi na akong may sakit. Labas pasok ako sa ospital kaya wala akong masyadong kaibigan. Lagi niya akong dinadalaw . . . “Kathleen , kapag gumaling ka na . . .” “Maglaro tayo.” A childish promise. Kaso hindi ko na maalala ‘yung pangalan niya.
