Fighting an unknown evil can be tough on the best of days. When sixteen year old witch Ebony Amberwood has to juggle high school, a social life, and visions of her home realm being destroyed, it can sound like an insurmountable task. When her uncle hires a bodyguard to protect Ebony and her two best friends, and when a mysterious new guy shows up at school, Ebony has to add boy trouble to that list.

Add in the fact that witch hunters are also trying to kill Ebony and you have a recipe for disaster. Can Ebony stop the oncoming assault, or will it be too late to save everything she has ever loved?

Sixteen year old witch Ebony Amberwood has been banished from her home realm of Amethystia and must learn to live in the human world where she has made new friends. Human friends. Sam Freeman and Melissa McFadden have been by Ebony's side since she arrived in Salem, Massachusetts and that won't change even when their lives have been put in peril.

When an unknown force threatens both worlds, Ebony's uncle, the king of Amethystia, hires a new bodyguard for Ebony named Nightshade Oakenheart, and while this bodyguard is severely cute, Ebony has no time for boyfriends when she has witch hunters and visions of the coming destruction to contend with. Or does she?
