Megan Winters was already having a bad week. Her parents are divorcing, her visions won't stop, and it's only the first day of Sophomore year.
When her best friend Bryan convinces her to take a shortcut through the woods to avoid being late, "bad" becomes "deadly." Chased by a wolf that shouldn't exist, Megan stumbles upon a frost-engraved dagger. A weapon as beautiful as it is terrifying. She thinks she's found a souvenir; she hasn't realized she's found a key.
Driven by a surge of anger and a drop of blood, Megan accidentally unleashes Sinclair La Moore, a villainous Enchantress from her own ancestral line. Now, a creeping, shadowy figure is sweeping through Lakewood, and the residents, including Megan's former-friend-turned-rival, are slipping into comas they may never wake from.
Abandoned by the magical Mystic who promised to help, Megan is left with nothing but a cryptic guide to the laws of Enchantment and a crushing sense of guilt. It was her blood that freed the darkness, and it has to be her fire that stops it. But as Sinclair's power grows, Megan must decide if she can master the flames in her blood before the town of Lakewood is frozen in time forever.
