"Your sisters will die without you. It's time to come home. It's time to begin the Circle."
Kendra Scott awakens from a nightmare by an ominous message from her deceased grandmother. Since the devastating passing of her beloved grandmother, the legendary High Priestess of Magic, Claire Roux-Scott, as well as the death of her estranged mother, several years earlier, Kendra has struggled to make a new life and identity for herself, in her ancestral New Orleans, far away from her childhood home of Oakland, California. For the last two years, Kendra has cultivated her talents as a Magic Woman, searched for inner peace, while healing from the wounds of her past. Yet, when Mother Claire comes to Kendra, with the warning that Kendra's sister, Shannon, as well as her lifelong friends, Angela Stone and Grace Lu, descendants of powerful Magic Women, known as the Eternal Circle, are in danger, Kendra knows that she must face her fears and return home.
"Everything comes full circle"
Back in Oakland, Shannon Scott senses the looming peril as well. She too, has experienced the omens of a rising evil and the escalating fears that the Veil that separates the real world and the world of Darkness is diminishing forever. Shannon has struggled to distance herself from magic and all the trauma that it has caused in her family. She has made diligent efforts to keep her close friends from discovering their magical heritage, with the intentions of keeping them normal and safe. However, with Kendra's sudden return home, as well as a series of abnormal, horrifying events that transforms the lives of all four women, Shannon and the others must accept that magic, in all its chaos and wonder, is perhaps their only salvation.
As family tensions flare, secrets are revealed, and terrors are unfolded, the four women will have to face their own individual demons and embrace their gifts of magic. Soon, they will have to unite, against an ancient Order of Dark Magicians, demonic abominations, and ultimately, a timeless, malevolent, and preternatural force that has awakened and is coming, not just for their magic, but for their souls.
