内容简介：
Emily Sanderson was the youngest of nine children born and raised on a large estate deep within the Southern Virginian Mountains. Her family was a strange lot, possessing abilities that had been kept secret for centuries. Their heritage had been passed down from maternal ancestors dating back as far as the mid-sixteen hundreds. Emily had always kept her distance from this heritage; fear of the unknown clouded her vision. She would now be put to the test. Could she differentiate between good and evil? Would she see clearly past the games being played to win her affection only to control the power that lay dormant within her, or would she be destroyed by the ongoing supernatural war that began centuries ago? It was mid-Novemberaher favorite time of year. The air was clean and crisp. A kaleidoscope of color danced across the trees as if it had been carelessly spilled from a painteras palette. Perplexing tranquility could be felt, as if this was the calm before the storm.
