Their mother left, leaving nothing but a vague letter behind on their seventeenth birthday giving them information for their father to find her family.
They move to Ravens Hollow, a strange little town in the middle of nowhere in Ohio. In fact, it doesn't even seem to appear on any map. Here they learn the secrets that the Blackwell's have kept hidden for centuries. They learn more about their family, their bloodline, their magic.
Addyson and Ryleigh must learn how to control their magic quickly because once they turn seventeen, anyone and everyone will be able to track and hunt them down. One side wants to harness their power and use it for their own, and the other wants to kill them because they believe their abilities should not exist.
On their seventeenth birthday, at the Solstice Ball, they meet the Deveraux siblings: Oliver, Alexander, Gregory, Benjamin, and Alexia. Will they help the sisters on their journey or will they hinder them?
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
