After confronting the enemy in New Orleans, Will and Freya return to their beloved small town to begin their senior year of high school where the only troubles seem to be finding the time to be alone, always interrupted by the quirky friends and family that have been a part of Will's world since he can remember. The supernatural threat that Will has been fighting against since the spring, seems to have quieted, allowing Will to settle into a normal life as a teenager...until the terror begins. When livestock is slaughtered and classmates turn up missing, leading up to a massacre on the football field, Will and Freya learn that an enemy has returned, stronger and far more threatening than before, accompanied by an unexpected alliance. Realizing he must return to the world he's been fighting against in order to protect those he loves, he calls on those that can join him in his fight, including his best friend, Rowhyn, who has returned from Louisiana with a greater understanding of her gifts and a new love. Together they fight against this deadly threat, but in the end, Will loses more than he was ever willing to give.
