Unloved and unwanted, Katsia is left by her abhorrent siblings. Now she is alone with her estranged father, who, while still living at House Luz, abandoned her long ago.

All her life Katsia has suffered from what she believes to be a terrible illness. The Shadows have teeth, eyes, spindly fingers, and something to say. But is it insanity or something else that plagues her?

She will soon discover exactly what it is as she is plunged into a new world filled with secret organizations, Gods and Goddesses, friends and foes.

In the world of Stone, who can she trust?

She was born into a world of magic, but she has none of her own…

Cassie Scot is the normal daughter of powerful sorcerers, born between worlds but belonging to neither. She strives to find a place for herself, but living in the shadow of her family’s reputation isn’t easy. All she wants is a nice, normal job, but her dreams of independence from magic are threatened when she stumbles upon the gruesome body of sixteen-year-old Nancy Hastings.

Now Cassie is plunged into a paranormal investigation which gets her tangled up with the victim’s powerful family, the Blackwoods. Dark, dangerous, and handsome Evan Blackwood tempts Cassie deeper into a world she seeks to escape. Yet Evan—and magic itself—may not be ready to let her go.
