Amethyst Romanov is a powerful witch. She is the descendant of an ancient and illustrious line of spell-workers and is believed to be the prophesised one. She and her clan reside in one of four castles around the UK and live as virtual recluses. Her life revolves around the fortified walls and leaving the grounds without the Elders permission or without a male chaperone is unthinkable. Tragedy befalls her family and coven; she is blamed for the apocalypse and cast out of the safety and security that Amethyst has ever known in Avalonia. She must fend for herself in the modern world of humans, known only to her and her clan as The Beyond. Amethysts brother Michael, a sorcerer whose reputation proceeds him in the supernatural world, helps her to try and adjust to modern life, but once left alone she is befriended by a group of psychic mediums who call themselves the Daryavaush. They enjoy nothing more than the thrill of paranormal investigations. Whether they are following ghosts, witches, demons, or the blood lust shape-shifters; trouble is never far behind them. Can she trust the Daryavaush? Will she ever learn to survive the madness of modern life? Can mobile phones, modems and magic really co-exist? Who is the mystery creature following her in The Beyond and will Avalonia ever accept their outcast gypsy witch, their Didikai Witch back into the fold?
