Waking Shadows continues the story of Anna and Lyndon. They are left broken hearted by revelations that forever have changed the direction of their once-perfect, relationship. Now Anna has moved on, and built a comfortable life with Drake. She goes on a mission, with Lyndon's help, to discover the truth about what really happened to her childhood best friend--Jane, and along the way, discovers more secrets.
There comes the opportunity to travel and really get to know her new family, the Collingwood's. As difficult as that time would be, spending it so close to Lyndon and being confined to the forest, she really throws herself completely into the Collingwood's 'witch' lifestyle, metamorphosing into Rosanna Collingwood. Experiencing things she would never be able to back away from, seeing things she could never again un-see.
Both Anna and Lyndon are, once again, faced with things they wished could stay hidden in the shadows.
With Drake's love and optimism that convinces Anna "It's all going to be alright" Anna is swept away in a hopeful future, seemingly leaving Lyndon behind. Everything is on the brink of being perfect, and just as Anna is mentally preparing to become Mrs Drury and give up the Collingwood tie forever, Lyndon makes a confession that could ruin her perfect world forever.
