Nikki James wants nothing more than to pass the Circle s strict entry exams so she can begin to plan her wedding to Michael Kelly. But when one of the testers attempts to kill her, she realises buying a wedding dress is the least of her worries. Especially when Michael is shot and kidnapped. The trail leads her to the ghost-town where Michael once killed a murderer.

She s not surprised to discover that Weylin Dunleavy, the brother of that long ago sorcerer, has set out to raise his brother s spirit from hell. With a barrier of magic surrounding the old town, Nikki must battle Weylin with only her wits, strength and the one psychic gift she cannot fully control.
