Hunter and Mercy Goode inherit more than just their family name in the town their ancestor founded. These twin witches must now serve as Gatekeepers, standing guard over ancient portals that connect Goodeville to otherworldly realms where mythological creatures reign. The sisters face their greatest test when their mother dies in what becomes the first of several brutal killings. Grief turns to determination as the twins pledge to track down whoever murdered her. But the threat goes beyond human evil. Ancient monsters from the mythological realms have crossed through the gates and now terrorize their once quiet community. Magic alone cannot stop these legendary beasts. Hunter and Mercy must embrace their inherited role as protectors and work as one. Their bond as sisters and witches will determine whether they can save their town or lose each other forever.
