In 1868, Seraphina Crawford created a safe world for witches to grow and live without fear. Her immortal magic was transferred into a ring so that she may grow older and wiser to become the matriarch of a long line of high priestesses. Though in her early 20s, she took the power back, living an unnaturally long life until she’d given it up for good. However, the next in line for her powers would not be able to access the magic within the ring. There was a fail-safe. Only when the right Crawford witch was in need of it would the ring open.

The year is now 1996. Gwendolyn Crawford is preparing to take the powers of her family and to become the high priestess of the coven of the Silver Shadows. She was eager to help the covens heal the rift between them. Little did she know the way to heal such a rift was to right the wrongs of her ancestor and risk her heart and her life.

Silas Sigmis Jr., the high priest of the Black Willow, was only following orders given to him by his father. He hadn’t thought of what the consequences of his actions would be until he came face-to-face with the Crawford girl. Her long raven hair and sapphire eyes caught him off guard as much as her power.

Two people who should have been at odds with each other will soon find they are each other’s only allies. Even among their own families.
