England, 1895
Diana Westenra does not fit in the small city that saw her grow up. A self-declared spinster with an unhealthy curiosity, a strong opinion and a library to match, the young woman has failed for years in the only task her family gave her: securing a suitable husband.
With her hopes withered after spending time in France, she comes back to Purfleet to care for her sick mother and organize the marriage of Lucy, her younger sister, already engaged to a gentleman. There, new and old friendships await.
But a monster arrives in England and sinks her family into despair, changing her life forever. Thrown into a battle that defies her beliefs and the foundations of her very soul, Diana will have to choose between the darkness and the light of her own heart to rise to the occasion...or fall. Through it all, the words she spills on her journal are the only thing keeping her almost safe from insanity.

Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all
***
Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret.
New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them.
But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
