Two years after the disastrous event resulting in the death of his daughter, guilt-driven Reiner trades his fast-paced, luxury life in Chicago for a quiet, rural cottage located in the small town of Chapala, Mexico. Forsaken by his wife and fired from a prestigious law firm, the only person Reiner can count on now is Jeremy, his loyal and unwavering best friend since high school.
Convinced he was to blame for his daughter's tragic accident, he seeks refuge in his mournful solitude. Unexpectedly, Reiner befriends a boy named Freddie, his young mother Terri and grandma Lita who bring hope back into his life.
Soon after moving into his cottage, Reiner begins experiencing ghostly apparitions from a deceased woman. He suspects the visits are from a long-ago deceased spirit many refer to as La Llorona: the soul of a weeping woman who, over a century earlier, allegedly drowned her own children and now haunts the riverbank next to his home.
While seeking answers he comes across a healer named Toñita and her English interpreting assistant; seven-year-old Ponchito who lives in an orphanage. Their encounter leaves Reiner questioning if he will ever know what this weeping woman is trying to tell him, for deciphering this mystery seems to be directly connected to figuring out how to cope with his own grief.

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.
