When Mars Thorne returns to her sleepy hometown to care for her ailing grandmother, she expects to inherit no more than old recipes, and her family’s quaint cottage surrounded by flower gardens— not whispers of dark magic and secrets buried in her bloodline. As ancestral truths surface, Mars finds herself entwined in a hidden world of magic, monsters, and the legacy her family tried to protect her from. But as her own powers awaken, so do questions about her mother's mysterious death, and internal conflict between her old and new realities begin to rise.
How deep will she dig to uncover the truth of her existence? And at what cost?
 
In this spellbinding tale of magic and self-discovery, morality blurs, bonds are tested, and some secrets are better left buried.
