Only three witches remain, and they are desperate to survive.
A decade has passed since The Numina were released from The Between. And despite all efforts, the lands are not only crawling with mutated bogies, but also a mysterious, witch-borne illness called the Stygian Brume. If these problems were not enough, an unexpected darkness enters the glade, one that tears Sparrow and Rush's family apart. Now, confronted with unspeakable loss, their eldest children are forced to retrace not only the steps of their parents before them, but their aunts as well. Join the changeling trio, Swan, Kestrel, and Starling, as they revisit old ghosts and open older wounds, by unraveling a new prophecy--one that could predict the worst betrayal--all in the hopes of saving their family and ridding the world of the last witches once and for all.
A haunting journey. A race against time. A prophecy fulfilled.
