The past always comes back to haunt you.
On her eighteenth birthday-half-demon, half-sorceress-Molly Ravenwood, flees her cabal, leaving magic and abuse behind. She embraces a mundane life in Glenwood, Iowa, trading the arcane for serving lattes at Harvest Moon Coffee Shop. The only reminders of her past are the shadows that torment her and Schmendrick, her snarky immortal cat.
When Caelan, her former friend and guardian from the cabal, shows up with news that her mom has been kidnapped, Molly is dragged back into a world of magic and monsters.
As dark forces and old wounds resurface, Molly must confront her demons, literally and figuratively, to save her mother-and learn to accept herself-before it's too late.
