When Cedar Monroe discovers she is in possession of - and protecting - a spell, her life completely turns upside down. The spell has been passed down through many generations of her family and is the key to unlocking the way to immortality and possibly something a whole lot more sinister. As this realization brings strangers into her life - a mysterious boy her age named Kylan Turner and a group known as the Komodans - Cedar discovers her life will never be the same. Both will stop at nothing to get their hands on that spell, and if it means destroying her in the process, so be it.
