USA Today bestselling author Heather McCollum writing as Eleri Drake
Four sisters, hidden in different time periods, each with a different magical power, must come together to save the world against a group of demons bent on destroying humanity. Outmatched in power by the evil legion, only love can swing the balance to their favor. An ancient Wiccan priestess is determined to link each sister with their soulmate in order for them to grow powerful enough to save the past, present, and future.
Serena Faw must shut out the barrage of thoughts from everyone around her. Her telepathic powers reveal the darkness and true intentions behind every false smile. When her adopted brother is accused of murder, the only man who can help her is the one person she cannot read. Can she trust the Highlander with the life of her brother? Can she trust him with her heart?
Keenan Maclean, the younger brother to the new chief of the Macleans, has grown up in the shadow of a dark prophecy. It is said that one Maclean brother will live, wed to a witch, and one will die. Keenan has grown into a fierce warrior while accepting his fate to defend his clan and die with honor.
Serena and Keenan hunt a loyalist murderer before the Battle of Culloden while trying to deny the attraction growing between them. Despite the prophecy’s warning that she heralds his death and Keenan’s need to protect his brother and family, the passion becomes too great to ignore. Will their lives be the penalty for their forbidden love?
