All necessary for a practicing witch. If she makes her way through a lifetime of heartaches and triumphs and disasters, she'll come out the other side to a new life. But if she fails, she risks unleashing banked power. Power always burning inside her. Power that could destroy everything, and everyone, she holds dear. A quiet cabin alone, with only the spirits of her past and present to accompany her into the future. Facing personal demons. Riana risks everything to keep those she loves safe.
