They’re on opposite sides of a brutal war, and I only have a few days to pick which side I want to join. I’m ready to choose when the Shades force my hand by cursing someone I love.

He's gone, and the worst part is, I don't know if he's dead or alive. I dealt with the curse. I picked my side.

Entrance to the mystical island of Avalon, where Raven will go through trials to gain the strength she needs to save her mom’s life. Raven wants to help the shifters on their quest.

I wondered what my life would have been like if we had never moved to the ho-dunk town of Spring Valley, Illinois.
