It's modern-day England. Witches are hidden in plain sight, along cobbled shopping streets and abandoned buildings. Everything is different - except the witch trials. They are happening again: witches are being burned at the stake and nobody understands why.
Nobody but Devan Lee. She has seen the truth, and she chooses to run from it and straight into the protection of Greer Reid. The problem with darkness, though, is that it follows you everywhere. What happens when it catches up to you and the one you love with all of its secrets in tow?

Acting turned into aching. A love story hidden beneath the spotlight. ---
