Leala Ariosto just finished her junior year in high school, and is about to start the final summer vacation of her childhood. She expects it to go by as quickly as the last, but that is proven false with an event that reconnects her with a friend she thought she'd never see again, and a car accident caused by a nightmarish beast that the rest of her family doesn't remember. Daniel Marchand is about to come of age, and in order to prove his worth to his family inheritance he must undergo a series of trials. As the heir to a family of sorcerers, he must use his gifts and knowledge to succeed, but he is warned by many that the prize he seeks isn't all he makes it out to be. Robin Barnett is still recovering from the disappearance of his father and the death of his mother and sister. Things are tense between him and his guardian, and he can't help but be convinced there is a ghost following him around, despite the fact no one seems to believe him. Well, almost no one. Three seemingly unrelated people leading different lives, who will all be brought together by one unseen danger. A danger that will shed light on a side of the world most are never aware of.
