For hundreds of years, we have been told that witches must burn for their crimes. They must pay for their deals with the devil and the sins they commit against the common people. They must suffer for the power they hold. For Bella, a powerful and experienced witch, her power is something she takes great pride in. Along with the other members of her coven, Bella protects the streets of New York from the demonic and deadly creatures that lurk in the shadows and attack the mortals of the city. Michael grew up in a house where the only way to save your soul was through God. Raised Catholic, his family has a history of hunting witches, as he is supposedly descended from Heinrich Kramer, author of the most famous witch-hunting book in history. In a chance encounter, Bella and Michael discover a great threat of their city, and understand that an alliance between two unlikely parties is necessary for the survival of their world.
