In the isolated town of New Salem, a unique group of teenagers wield a power that has been passed down to them through three hundred years ... the power of magic.
New in town, Cassie longs to be one of them -- especially when their leader, Diana, becomes her closest friend. But as a girl lies dead at the bottom of a hill, and Cassie is finally initiated into the circle, she hides a terrible secret. For Diana's boyfriend, Adam, is a boy Cassie has met before -- met and fallen in love with. Desperate not to betray Diana's trust, Cassie struggles to resist her passion. But is she strong enough to challenge her destiny? Is anyone strong enough to face the darkness that waits to be unleashed if she fails...?
