It's been three years since Naomi, an empath, entered the Blackwoods Coven. Despite the turmoil her arrival caused, it seems that everyone has finally found their place. Redwater is expanding, the coven is adapting, and the magic is getting stronger. What's better? Claire and Naomi are enjoying all of the benefits. When they witness a murder, however, their time of peace is coming to a violent close. With the whole city at risk, the coven has no choice but to stop the murders before it's too late - and before the murderers find them. Malik never imagined he would watch as a Minister was assassinated before his very eyes, but that's exactly what happened. Now, all of Easthaven's government is in disarray, and the future of the covens is uncertain. As the leader of the Carrion Coven, it's his job to protect the covens of Easthaven, but this time, he just might fail.
