From the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of A Red Heart of Memories comes the continuing spellbinding story of the wandering witch Matilda (Matt) Black, who possesses the ability to communicate with inanimate objects and see into people's dreams-and her companion Edmund Reynolds, a young man with magic of his own who is only beginning to come to grips with his past and his powers…
The two travelers have come to the town where Edmund grew up, and found shelter, at least for a while, in the benevolently haunted house that was a refuge for Edmund and his friends when they were children.
But the house begins to speak to Matt, urgently, telling her that she and Edmund have to leave, to seek out the long-scattered friends.
As they search, they find that some have grown up to be ordinary, untouched by any hint of wild magic. Others, though, have been transformed in ways that defy imagination.
Now, they must all come together once again, in the place that none has ever forgotten. For a darkness is rising, a dangerous, powerful entity. And the only chance of stopping it lies in the hearts of the lost children of the house…
