Paige’s heart hurts but she can't stop.

She knows she has to get over her losses—because they haven’t had many wins—and keep moving forward. The entire town of Troutdale knows the existence of the paranormals that live among them and someone’s gotta keep a lid down on the civil war breeding inside her own damned wards.

Sven and his demons have walled off the entire town. Nothing comes in or out. No supplies. No food. No medicines. No gas.

And all around them? Demons.

They’re glued to her wards like flies on flypaper and it doesn’t matter how many Paige and her team pick off, more seem to come. She’s even been forced to let the Blackman witches underneath the protections of her wards so they won’t fall into Sven’s hands. She’s gathered all the power players she can, and it isn’t enough. Sven is too powerful. He’s found a way to siphon power from an alternate dimension, where the spirit animals and fallen gods and goddesses live. And now? He’s got Bastet on his team.

Blessed Mother. The chips just keep rolling.

So, Paige is going to do the only thing she can. She’s going to free an old enemy, to release the second-biggest opponent, Merry Eastwood. Maybe the power of the three greatest witch families on the west coast will finally be enough to bring down Sven Seven-Tails once and for all.

This concludes the Ancients saga. Whoa! What a ride!
