First published 2006
Mirei has shattered centuries of witch tradition. Where once witches killed their doppelgangers to gain power, she discovered that merging with these twins grants far greater strength. Her revelation has torn Starfall apart. Traditional witches rage against her methods while she seeks out surviving doppelgangers to prove her theory. The conflict turns personal when Eclipse, her closest friend and fellow hunter, falls into enemy hands. The opposing witches force him to swear a blood oath that will kill Mirei or claim his own life. Now civil war consumes Starfall as witch turns against witch. Mirei faces an impossible choice. She can save Eclipse from his deadly vow, or she can focus on healing the fractured community before Starfall destroys itself. With her friend bound by magic to murder her and her people locked in bitter warfare, Mirei must find a path that preserves both the man she cares about and the future of witchcraft itself.
