In the hidden town of Sivad, a young witch named Ember stumbles upon a gruesome murder scene. The victims are her fellow coven members, killed by dark magic. Ember soon discovers that a long-dormant curse has been unleashed, pitting her coven against a dangerous cabal of necromancers. As the death toll rises, Ember must harness her own volatile powers to uncover the truth and stop the bloodshed before it engulfs the entire town. But the more she learns, the clearer it becomes that no one is safe - and the line between the living and the dead is thinner than anyone imagined.
