When tragedy strikes and Rose’s parents die in a car crash she can’t help but feel it was not an accident. Left to protect her younger sister in the small village of Evergreen, Rose can't shake the feeling that shadows from the war have followed them home. A mysterious stranger, whispered threats and ancient enemies seeking payment in blood.
She may be Dormant, but Rose's time helping people injured during the war taught her that power isn't always measured in magic. Now she'll need every hard-won instinct to keep her sister safe and uncover the truth—before their parents' killer decides two Piper daughters are better than none.
