One accidental spell in a dusty library archive changes everything–binding her to four women she's only just begun to call friends, and awakening power none of them knew they had.

When Sera discovers the only way in and out of the underworld is to become immortal—the one thing she most definitely does not want to do in life—she must make the decision of a lifetime, an everlasting lifetime.
