What do you do when the past refuses to stay dead and buried? Six months have passed since the explosion at Platinum Industries. For the first time in our lives, Bandit and I knew what it felt like to be with a loving family, and it was a lot like getting to eat a main and dessert every day, for every meal (and having starved on the streets for so long, everyone knows how much I like my food).

I'd been living on the streets for around eight months before I lost count. It wasn't easy, but it was still preferable to what I had to deal with at home. In all that time, unable to trust anyone, I had been alone (I knew from experience that people always failed you). Then one day, while out searching for food, I stumbled upon this mangy dog being attacked. It wasn't a big deal to help him, but then he ended up saving my life which is when I realized there was something special about him: Muttface wasn't a normal dog - he was crazy intelligent. I'm talking Mensa levels. And he wasn't an accident either, having recently escaped from a mysterious lab.

Marley Gray is just an ordinary girl when she moves to a new city to start college. She doesn't know that magic even exists, much less that she is the descendant of one of the most powerful witches to have ever walked the earth. As far as she knows, she has classes to sign up for, parties to attend, and an overprotective father to avoid.

Before any of us could understand what was happening, we were attacked by a shadowy offshoot of the government, but unlike Forbes' men who had wanted Bandit alive, these were sent to wipe us out. To clean us from existence. With nothing but the clothes on our back, we fled across the country, our enemy hot on our heels, to the only friend who might be able to help us...when disaster struck.

When Marley moves into her dorm at Blackville University, she has classes to sign up for, parties to attend, and an over-protective father to avoid, who, as luck would have it, has just been hired at BU as its newest history professor. After a disastrous night out ends with Marley, her roommate, and two others thrown together for the first time, something happens that no one expected. Something magical. And suddenly they discover they each have been gifted with strange new powers - but why?

With death on her hands, Marley is haunted by her actions and terrified by her new powers. Christian won't let her forget what she has done, but worst than that, there's the terrifying ghost who keeps coming after her, right when she is at her most vulnerable. What does she want with her? After almost causing another terrible accident, Tyler knows they must learn to control their new powers - whatever they are - or risk killing again, but a self-taught lesson doesn't go as planned, leaving the girls more fragmented than when they began.

Magic comes to Boston in a big way, as the city wakes to find its streets blocked by a supernatural act that could only have been caused by Michael, ramping up his campaign against them. Their investigation leads the girls off campus to another historical site, but will they like what they find at the end?

With the First Seal broken, Marley and the girls finally learn what Michael is up to, and it isn’t good. Christian is more determined than ever that they put a stop to him. But is avenging his mentor more important to him than the girls’ own lives? Tyler finally starts her new job but gets quickly into trouble. Exhausted by everything she must do, she uses her power to secretly brew her first potion. It’s just a little something to get her through the day. She’s positive it isn’t going to be a problem.

With a lead on the next magical seal the girls split up to search the site of Boston’s biggest music festival, not knowing that it is all part of Michael’s sinister grand plan - but what exactly is he is trying to do? Trusting her gut instinct if not her common sense, Eve follows Paul to make not one, but two startling discoveries, only to learn that neither of them are going to help when she is finally confronted with her worst nightmare.

When the girls attempt to break into one of the country’s oldest private libraries to retrieve a black-magic artifact, they discover something that leaves one of them reeling.

Devastated by her loss, Tyler becomes even more reliant on magic as she conjures up a spell only to discover her worst fear is realized.... A trip to Juju reveals even more for the girls to worry about. Taking matters into their own hands, they finally make headway against Michael but will their actions have the desired consequences? Unable to keep his feelings to himself any longer, Christian’s attempts to schedule a one-to-one with Marley fail spectacularly, leaving him questioning whether he even has a chance with her.

With the others stuck in classes and work, Marley and Christian investigate a mysterious local haunting only to learn something surprising about their own relationship. Against her better judgment, an exhausted and overworked Tyler becomes over-reliant on her powers as she nears Ally’s first birthday without their parents. Having taken Tyler’s potion, Cassie is loving the effects, especially when she wins the attention of her dream guy.

An ongoing mystery is finally answered, as the girls piece together their biggest part of the puzzle yet. Rather than celebrate this piece of good fortune, however, Eve is more tormented than ever as her dark secret threatens to implode the life that she has so carefully crafted for herself. Having noticed Tyler's suspicious behavior, Cassie does more snooping with surprising results, but will she tell the others what she discovers?

"Things that go bump in the night aren't always what they seem...." When Marley discovers a chilling mystery close to home, that of a student in their dorm who seems to be attracted to things of the occult kind, she finds herself working with an unlikely partner in the form of Rhett, while an anguished Christian can only watch as their relationship deepens.
