This year marks the centenary of the last witch hunt, the Inquisition, in Crackenback. A terrible tragedy in which three hundred and seventy-four witches and wizards lost their lives in the burning of the church of Sainte Lucie.
It is also the year that everything will change for Lana Rivers, an eighteen-year-old teenager. It's her senior year of high school, and she's ready to face it all with her two best friends, Clarke and Glenda.
But after a horrible nightmare in which she sees herself drowning, she is led to Theodore in the middle of the night.
He is lying almost unclothed by a lake and appears to be dead.
After she rescues him and literally brings him back to life, he flees and avoids her at all costs in high school.
Every time she tries to approach him, he runs away.
Every time she tries to talk to him, he will not listen.
When Lana learns that he has just moved to town with his three siblings, Louis, Marie, and Evan, she is even more intrigued. They look like no one in town, just like her, they do not belong here, or maybe they do...
