Nineteen-year-old Rose has spent her life mastering the magic running through her veins, but when dark forces begin to awaken, she finds herself entangled in a terrifying prophecy. As a powerful witch born from one of the most formidable magical bloodlines, Rose is both feared and revered. But when she starts losing control of her own powers, strange occurrences follow-visions of death, whispers in the dark, and a force inside her that doesn't feel like her own.
With the help of her mothers, Serena and Billie, her younger siblings Glorianna and Amaris, and the rest of their coven, Rose fights to uncover the truth behind the magic consuming her. But when an ancient entity known as the Harbinger marks her as its vessel, Rose's world spirals into chaos. The darkness within her begins to take over, warping her mind and twisting her magic into something monstrous.
As her power grows uncontrollable, Rose unintentionally brings destruction upon her own people-killing some of her coven members and nearly tearing the world apart. In a desperate attempt to save her, her family and the coven make the painful decision to put her in a magical coma. But even unconscious, her magic threatens to break free. Realizing that simply sealing her away isn't enough, they decide on a devastating solution-to strip Rose of her magic forever.
Through an ancient and dangerous ritual, they extract her power and lock it inside a forbidden stone, a vessel capable of holding magic so strong. But they know that if Rose ever reclaims it, the consequences will be catastrophic. With heavy hearts, they flee, running as far as possible before the darkness calls her back.
I am insufficient. Well, that's not my name obviously, but that's what my family has decided I am.
I'm Julie. I'm 14, about to be 15 years old. I have a twin sister, Jamie. Jamie is an angel. Perfect at everything, and can do no wrong. At least in my family's eyes. And I? I am not perfect. I am a disappointment. Though they've never said that to me outright, I know that's what they truly think.
The apparent "last straw" was when Jamie fucked up and I took the fall for it. Now, I'm on my way to live with some of my more distant relatives back in Italy. They're supposed to "put me back in my place."
So now I get to go live with 3 Italian Capo's.
Sounds like fun right?

What happens when Julie gets sent away? And what happens when her relatives receives a girl they had been brought to believe was a troublesome, borderline delinquent teenager, but is actually just a confused, dissociative little girl with a messed up idea of what family really means.
And what happens when Julie comes to realise that the people she was living with, weren't all who they said they were?
