Scout Randall’s life has taken more turns than she was ready for, and it’s a new dawn in Hawthorne Hollow. Her parents have arrived on the scene, and it turns out, they’ve been hiding in the shadows for years waiting for her. The prophecy that foretold her winning what should be an unwinnable war, has enemies crawling out of the woodwork. And, worst of all, she’s grappling with the realization that one of her own has betrayed her. It’s too much for Scout to deal with, which means that the snowmen popping up around town and acting like sentries are barely a blip. When Bigfoot joins the fray, however, Scout realizes trouble is afoot. All Scout wants is a few weeks to catch her breath. That’s not in the cards. Her life is starting to spiral, and now that she knows who the enemy is, the only thing she’s certain of is that she doesn’t have the strength to fight him. Hawthorne Hollow is a magical nexus, and all the players are lining up. The ultimate fight isn’t far away, so when new faces appear, it’s easy to question if they’re friend or foe. Who will come out victorious?
