Here is the synopsis straight from the author's website -

Witch and day-walking demon Rachel Morgan has managed to save the demonic ever after from shrinking, but at a high cost.

Rachel must stop the occurrences before the undead vampire masters who keep the rest of the undead under control are lost and it becomes all-out supernatural war. However, the only way to do so is through the ancient elven wild magic, which carries its own perils

When I first mentioned my hope of Rachel and Trent becoming a couple, someone commented that the author would be giving Rachel a new boyfriend. Instead, Ms. Harrison did what seemed most natural, and brought these two lo

At the conclusion of Waking the Witch , Savannah swore that she would give up her powers if it would help a young girl. Little did she know that someone would take her up on that promise. And now, witch hunting assassins, necromancers, half-demons, and rogue witches all seem to be after her. The threat is not just for Savannah; every member of the Otherworld might be at risk.
