This series is a spinoff to the High Witch Series. Seventeen years have passed since Ariel and Hallie worked together to defeat Innes. The child High Witches Erica and Julia are now teenagers, facing their own challenges. When Erica meets Gareth, she feels excited that she may have found her first love and wants to see him as much as possible. But a vision featuring Erica and the dreaded test darkens her world and leaves her wondering who the mysterious blond man from her vision is. Gareth is falling for Erica, but he’s hiding a dark secret. If she knew, she would despise him forever. He hates deceiving her but feels trapped. He has to choose between saving his father or protecting the woman he’s falling in love with. He can’t bear to hurt either, but a dark stranger has other ideas.

Erica and Gareth have grown close in the months since they met, and are traveling together with Erica’s family to visit Hallie, Sean, and their twins, James and Caeden. Before they even arrive, Erica gets an unexpected delight. Their trip, however, is clouded by sudden trauma. James doesn’t know why he’s blacking out, only that he can’t stop it. But the young woman who he encountered before the problem started must be connected. Neither he nor his friends know how to find her—but when their paths finally cross once more, she reveals her shocking past. James is astonished to discover her intentions. None of them are safe.
