"I'd never felt anything like it before, not once among a thousand touches from other Light fae, and I knew it in an instant for what it was.
A myth. A fairy tale.
The surge.
A connection between two people that went beyond love, beyond duty. A complete connection of bodies, minds, spirits. At least, that's what people said. Most people didn't believe in it. I certainly never had.
I didn't."

In this exciting retelling of the love story between Alec and Siri, you'll get to see what he was doing before they met, and experience firsthand his inner struggle to let himself love again.

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.
