After centuries of strife, the world of witches has entered a period of tenuous peace. Not all are happy with the peace, and factions both old and new reemerge, threatening to push it over the edge. But for now, gone is the oppressive rule of the council, and gone are their controls over what magic can be taught, but maybe some magic should stay buried. A fresh group of orphans have arrived at the coven, and while the last group of students settle into their new rules as instructors and leaders on the Council of Mages, they face the same struggles their predecessors did. They must teach this new generation how to be witches, while helping them heal from the loss of their families. But as each of them knows personally, grief is the strongest of all emotions. One such student, Megan, is so grief stricken that she turns to a formerly forbidden source of magic to bring her parents back to life. This source was lost centuries ago, but anything lost can be found if you look hard enough. Her search draws attention, reminding many of the long forgotten object's existence, creating thoughts of possibilities, and schemes to resurrect witches of the past, to rule the future. Welcome back to Coven Cove and strap in for a new quest with a new generation.
