A human should not bleed liquid gold, and Melody Carter is one hundred percent human. She should not be able to hear her dog speak in her mind, she shouldn't be able to emit a blinding and burning light from her palms when frightened, and cleaning her papercuts should certainly not leave behind a shimmery, gold-tinted residue on her skin that she just can't seem to wash off. So, when strange happenings spiral out of control, twenty-eight-year-old Melody leaves her isolated human settlement to look for witches that might have more information.
Searching for answers, Melody travels to Boone, NC. However, it is only a matter of time before she discovers that students from the Other Studies program at the local college are disappearing, and if she isn't careful, she'll be next on the list of those missing. Complicating things further, she finds herself absolutely and inexplicably enamored with Hartley Allade, a handsome professor at the Appalachian Teacher's College... and a full-blooded Other who refuses to disclose his personal history.
Follow Melody, Hartley, and golden retriever Chief in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry.
