Now that she has been introduced to the mystical realm of the Belles, she has to sort out what her purpose is in the midst of her new world.

Bronwyn is a place where the Belles aren't the only ones who have their own set of rules. What happens when powers collide in a world where who is good and who is bad is as muddy as the marshes of the Lowcountry itself?
