Synopsis:

It’s Christmas Day, and Sloane West finds herself in Kirkcudbright, Scotland, moments too late to render aid to the Gòrdan Protector Coven. The Order has killed two of its members and left another unable to speak. When the RCMP finds a third Gòrdan murdered in Denwick Cemetery, Sloane realizes the Order has become too powerful to face alone.

If the West Coven is to prevail in the deadliest investigation of her career, they will need to work with other Magical defenders and expose themselves to the Nogical World. Only then will Sloane and her allies stop the Order from unleashing every demon the Gòrdans have ever banished to the abyss.

But convincing Magicals to come out of hiding and stopping a coalition of malevolent supernaturals from overthrowing the Nogical and Magical worlds aren’t the only crises Sloane faces. She is about to discover who her father is, and it’s a secret she might find impossible to swallow.
