On the remote west coast of northern Norway, a series of violent deaths of young women goes unexplained, as does the later disturbance of the victims' graves. For one controversial doctor the killings make perfect sense - but if the dead are rising he must be the first to find them. 
In the nearest city, descendants of an ancient human line of shape-shifting haemovores (blood-eating peoples) are outsiders to society, but can live with other humans so long as they follow strict laws and take State supplied medicines (Dreyri) to supress their desire for blood. They remain poor, abused and exploited, living with the constant threat of violence. With the doctor's help, they are plotting their escape to a new land to escape oppression and to form a new, secret colony in the Scotland.

Dive into the world of love and magic, any way you like to read. *** 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.
