Fifteen-year-old Phoenix Bishop is a ghost hunter, a descendant of witches, and an outcast in 1985 Fairhaven, Massachusetts—a town where supernatural families wield power while others fight to keep magic buried. Unlike her ancestors, Phoenix has no magic—or so she believes—leaving her trapped between both worlds.
When students at Fairhaven High turn up bloody and dead, Phoenix suspects something supernatural. Her search for answers leads her to Malachi Kane, the school’s new quarterback with a dangerous edge. Ky and his brothers have secrets of their own that threaten the supernatural order—and Phoenix herself. His presence also puts her at odds with her childhood best friend, Noah, whose family wants magic erased.
But the murders aren’t random. A long-buried force is rising: the Black Witch, a being feared by both sides. As Phoenix unravels the mystery, she experiences strange visions, surges of power, and an unsettling connection to something ancient. The legend of the Black Witch isn’t just a myth. And Malachi and his brothers didn’t come to start a war. They came to stop her.
