But what's done in the dark always comes to the light. On the eve of her family's demise, Scarlette Manning inherits an unimaginable gift: mystical powers. A family curse, known only to her beloved parents. Reeling from the horror she's just witnessed, the thirteen-year-old vows to protect her flesh and blood no matter the costs. Scar pledges to master her bewitching powers, conjuring incantations, and secretly battling night stalkers who lurk in the shadows. Now twenty-two, Scar believes she has successfully hidden her gift until that gruesome night when one of her brother's life is irrefutably altered propelling her back to her family's tragic past. If she is to save both brothers from the clutches of evil, Scar must harness her supernatural powers. Will she use her magic to tip the scales from death to life? Only time will tell whether a young witch can keep her family safe from those things that eerily go bump in the night.
