In the deep and ancient forest, many miles outside the highly religious Settlement, lives Eden, a girl who can see and communicate with Wandering Souls- troubled spirits that haunt the area.
She has lived alone for five years after Cassia, her caretaker, died. But in an interruption to her grief-filled, yet peaceful, life, she is forced into helping the Settlement solve their issue with the Wanderers- they are viciously haunting the town. Hugo, a boy whose past is deeply intertwined with Eden's, seems to be the only one she can trust. Together, they search for the cause of the haunting. But as she learns more about the Settlement and her own past with it, she starts to question the town's beliefs and her new family's safety in it.

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.
