Katherine Barnes was an unsettled witch β€” a witch born to non-magical parents and saddled with a power she couldn't explain, let alone control.

Following a tragic accident that sent her running away from home at sixteen, the only reason Katherine survived was Sylvia Page, the leader of Los Angeles' Aestas Coven and a former unsettled witch herself, who scooped Katherine up and taught her how to harness the storm inside. Together, over the past thirteen years, Katherine and Sylvia turned Aestas into a halfway house for unsettled witches, creating the home neither of them got to have.

Enter Silas Khatri, the heir to the most influential coven in the country, who has a mandate from his parents to bring the rogue Aestas Coven to heel.

Desperate to muscle Silas out of her territory, Sylvia makes an impulsive decision that gives her untold power β€” but at the cost of an unsettled teenager's life. Unaware of her mentor's betrayal, Katherine launches an investigation into the young witch's death.

As she unravels secrets that go back further than she ever knew, Katherine finds an unlikely ally in the man she thought she hated and an unexpected enemy in the woman who saved her future. With Silas' real motives and the depths of Sylvia's treachery all coming to light, Katherine has to decide what's more important β€” the family she's worked so hard to build, or the truth.
