One hundred years ago, a sheriff’s posse killed dark warlock Rhyfel Gremory, but his witch-disciples escaped, and their magic produced them nearly immortal. To keep their power, every year among the witch-disciples eliminates a descendant of one of the males in the posse, a twelve-year cycle that has cost a large number of lives, including that of Seth Tanner’s sibling, Jesse.

Seth uncovers a cycle of ritual murders that feed the witch-disciples’ power, and he saves Evan Malone, one of the warlock’s potential about Burn: A Witchbane Novella victims. Neither Seth nor Evan expected to fall in like, however when the dust settles, they end up away from home and on the road together, proceeding toward Pittsburgh, over the trail of the next killer.

Seth miracles whether Evan will come to regret his choice to stay together, now that he’s living the truth of Seth’s nomadic lifestyle and the risks that come with it. He desires Evan to remain, but he’s scared that Evan would be better off without him, living a normal life. Evan’s whole world has been upended, but there’s a very important factor he’s sure of, his like for Seth. Evan concerns that he’s a responsibility, not yet in a position to hold his very own in Seth’s rough-and-tumble globe, but determined to do whatever essential to have Seth’s back. On the way to face the next warlock, supernatural dangers abound, forcing them to understand to combat as a team.
