Rose Lovelace was born into magic, with the power of her ancestors flowing through her veins. Given a home deep in the New Orleans Bayou and enough wealth to secure her future, it seems her troubles have finally ended.

But when a mysterious figure arrives in her home, knowing secrets he shouldnt, Roses carefully built life is shattered.

Now faced with a dangerous enemy, Rose must decide whether to embrace the witch she was destined to become or risk losing everything—including her very history—to darkness.

As Elsie, along with Amelia, Topher, and Celeste, unravels the dark secrets binding them all, she learns that every soul carries a story—and pain is the force that connects them all.

Bestowed with a dangerous power, Elsie must confront her inner monster and reclaim the life that was stolen from her, or risk losing everything to the shadows.
