Sunday has the ability to manipulate the Threads of Fate, giving her access to power and possibilities that most witches can only dream of... and she doesn't care at all.

Dante Greenbern, a Sylvan prince assigned to guard her from harm, has his own ideas about Sunday's magic, Calen's intentions, and the future of the modern magical community as a whole.
