Humans have been putting different, sentient species into captivity for years now, including some of their own, called Aberrants. Aberrants are humans that have abilities (called Traits) that your average Joe would not, and though rare, are seen as very dangerous. Grey Evans just so happened to possess a Trait and was thrown into a holding area called the Shelter, which holds many other odd and/or powerful creatures, such as fiends, celestials, Medleys, ghosts, and undead. The Shelter was a place Grey feared for most of his life, but is it really such a chaotic, scary place? Will he ever be able to leave?

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.
