When blood and magic collide, the truth is deadlier than fate itself… Elena’s dreams are on fire: night after night, she smells smoke, feels the heat on her skin, and time and again, an unknown face stares right at her. But it is only when her grandfather disappears and she stumbles upon a mysterious book that her world is turned upside down forever. What should have been a search for her grandfather turns out to be a slow-closing trap. Because some secrets do not stay hidden forever. Some paths turn against you. And some forces pull you deeper, whether you want them to or not. In a battle against something she does not understand, Elena must make choices that will determine her future—and that of many others.
