Secrets tear families apart; in Celeste's case, this couldn't be more true.
Secrets were the reason her father died, and why her mother decided it was best for her to be sent to live with her father's family at the age of fifteen.
Four months out from her shared eighteenth birthday, her mother suddenly wanted her home and decided to rip her away from everything she had come to know and love. She should be happy to go home, to start her senior year with her old friends--with her twin.
But, she couldn't be. They abandoned her. Never calling, never writing, it was like she was nothing more than a bad memory to get rid of.
Connor O'Faolain had a serious problem: kids in his pack were disappearing left and right only weeks before they were supposed to go through the claiming.
No one knew where they were going and his father was just turning a blind eye to the whole situation, stating it would stop the way it started: silently.
On his way home for summer break, he was determined to get to the bottom of the disappearances, but a new obstacle had fallen in his path: Celeste Lyra. His best friend's sister and problem child. Or at least, he thought she had been. He hadn't seen her in years, and now she seemed...different. Broken somehow.
Their worlds both seemed to collide at the worst time possible, but it may be the key to fixing whatever has been going on in their small town, and saving those who have gone missing.

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.
