What is Death?
Is it the end of mortal life or a more sinister punishment for those left behind?
At birth, you are infected by the creeping darkness that eats away at the living, the once burning flame of life dims to embers, until all that remains is ash.
No religion, no faith, no belief can protect you. Death is a mortal consequence, one that binds or tears apart. Its far reaching grasp is unrelenting, entombing it prey in a capsule of time, one which only it knows the deadline.
But what if Death was not a consequence, rather a transition to a place where the mortal soul is the price of admission. A place where the sins that stain a once pure soul a washed away; you begin again, a new soul in a new place.
Death could be the beginning.
All I have to do is Die.

Pain was not new to her, it was a cumbersome reminder she did not belong in the world she was born in. They locked her away, hid her deep in the dredges of society, hoping to keep her "evil" gift wrapped away. Hopeless and bereft, she waited for the impending demise of her mortal body until the Dark One came and took her pain away.
He was born for war, born for pain and darkness. He was marked by the Light as a child and remained in their servitude, an empty husk of violent power until the Dark One came for him.
Together they are the beginning.
All they have to do is Die.

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.
