Anyone who tells you that they talk with people whom others can't see is assumed to be insane; not so for Isabella Dwyer, a Spirit Witch. The Dwyers are one of the most powerful families of Spirit Witches left in the world after centuries of witch hunting. While it's uncommon for witches to marry and have children with normal humans, also known as Mundanes, it's very normal for witches to leave their Mundane partner if the child is a witch to protect both child and mundane. This is the case with Bella. Her mother left her mundane father when Bella's abilities began to show.

Bella grew up in Phoenix in a coven of witches with her mother...until five years ago when her mother was killed. Now she is forced to live with her mundane father after a custody battle with the leaders of the coven, the guardians as stated by Renee's will. Upon arriving in Forks things become more strange for Bella than she expected. Her nights are haunted by nightmares, leaving her screaming and confused.

What is this mystery unfolding before her? Could her life really be at stake? What part does the local vampire seethe play?
