Colleen Carter has everything: a successful career, a devoted husband, and two beautiful children. Until her fortieth birthday, when she is visited by a strange and God-like being. His message is simple: a bargain was struck by the women in her family long ago. She can continue to live her blessed life for many years to come and sacrifice her twelve-year-old daughter, or she can sacrifice herself. But tonight, someone must die.
Darrel Ray Miller is a simple preacher, traveling the countryside with his tent revival, bringing the gospel to everyone he meets. People are flocking from all over to hear his message of love and family, and to witness the miracles that seem to happen every night. But even as true as he is to his message of love and fellowship, something sinister is corrupting his joyful ministry, and his followers are paying the price.
M.M. Wildes has many secrets hidden behind the facade of M. M. Wildes' Tarot and Beyond, the occult shop she runs with her partner Sugar. Her real name, the name of a girl long dead, sacrificed as part of a great bargain. Her real face, hiding behind a magical glamour, ever-shifting, ever-changing. Her real mission, to protect the innocent of the world at all costs. Even if it means giving up her own life, or the only chance she may ever have at true happiness.
Most of all, she keeps the secret of her home and family.
Now, a new threat is growing in the world, a powerful enemy is stalking the sisters and brothers of Mercer. Witches and their consorts are dying, and young people, marked to one day join the magical Mercer family, are disappearing without a trace. The ways of the magical world are changing, and the definitions of good and evil are becoming blurry.
M. M. Wildes, along with her family, those bound by both magic and blood, must uncover who is behind the peril to her magical home, while she fights to protect those people most important to them.
Magic and might, faith, love, duty, and family, all of these will be tested beyond their limits as one thing becomes clearer every day.
The Harvest has begun.
