Severed hands, moving paintings, and a spicy encounter in a priest hole – another typical day at Briarwood Castle. My kid sister is on her way to visit Briarwood Castle.

I miss her like crazy, but I haven’t told her that I’m a witch, am dating five guys, and we're trying to save the world from an invasion of dark fae. Luckily, the guys have a bright idea – we’ll take Kelly to London.

We can show her the sights, keep her safe from the fae, and research the creepy portrait of my mother that seems to be moving. Under the bright city lights.

I discover more about the mysterious origins of my powers, and one by one my guys open up about the dark parts of themselves they’ve kept hidden. In this most desperate of times, every one of us in the Briarwood coven must confront our own demons to unleash the full potential of our magic.
