Nell draws magic from the land to help PsyLED solve paranormal crimes. Her work with the Psy-Law Enforcement Division has taught her about her abilities and given her real friendships after years of isolation. Her team leader Rick LaFleur transforms into a panther during lunar cycles, but something goes wrong this time. Rick calls Nell from a riverbank where he finds himself naked with no memory of his arrival. A dead black cat lies beside him, killed by dark magic within a witch's ritual circle. More animal deaths follow as the team investigates. A blood-witch hunts victims across their territory. The evidence points toward Rick's involvement in these brutal crimes. Nell must navigate the investigation while her team fractures under suspicion. The trust binding her found family together threatens to break apart completely.
