Discovering the cause of the vanishings, though, could be the only way to escape her mother’s reach while determining the future of all witches.

Yet the more she seeks the truth about her family’s troubled history, the more she realizes her already-fragile psyche may be at risk. Recently freed, she fears her family may be more involved with the growing crisis than she ever dared imagine. Alice disappeared once, too-caged in an asylum by blood relatives. While the other witches watch their reality unravel, young Alice Marin is using magic’s waning days to delve into the mystery of numerous disappearances in the occult circles of New Orleans.

While some see an inevitable end of their era, others are courting madness-willing to sacrifice former allies, friends, and family to retain the power they covet.
