I am not like Evie. I don’t belong in some great romance. I’m just the best friend in the background. Always there, always reliable, down-to-earth. Good old Sarah. That’s how it’s always been. Until now.
At Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies, Sarah is the faithful friend to Evie and Helen, her sisters in the Mystic Way. But this term Sarah finds that their friendship is tested. Evie is turning her back on the Mystic Way after laying her beloved Sebastian’s soul to rest; Helen is distracted by her tormented relationship with her mother. Sarah struggles to keep the sisterhood together as the threat of attack looms from the dark coven and the Unconquered lords.
All that keeps Sarah going is her connection with her earth powers and a promise she cannot break. When she must step out of the shadows and fight the eternal darkness, will her sisters join her, or will help come from unexpected sources, like her Romany ancestors and a love she’d only just dared hope for?
In this companion to the dazzling Immortal and heart-stopping Betrayal, the suspense and magic are as strong as stone and as deep as the earth.

"I have really enjoyed this series, and I really enjoyed this book and seeing things from Sarah's perspective! Even without Sebastian it was good! I can't wait to read the next one, and if my suspicions are correct it might jsut be about Helen!! "
— Janeecenoel (4 out of 5 stars)
" This book was amazing! Even though Sebastian is gone you learn more about Sarah and the role she has to play. I can't wait for the next one which I'm pretty sure is going to be about Helen. "
— Nicole, 1/23/2014" i want to read it! "
— Kelsey, 1/13/2014" I am so excited to hear about this book!!! I really thought the series was over after book 2. This has really just made me day! :-D "
— Amy, 12/30/2013" I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the first two books in the series. Sarah was constantly complaining about how she was always the good and kind friend so she seemed whiny. It's also probably because I liked the story of Evie and Sebastain more than I did Sarah's story. I'm still going to read the next book and find out what happens though. "
— Brittany, 12/25/2013" Can't really say that this book kept me that interested. It didn't really pull me in like the others. "
— Helen, 12/16/2013" Not sure I liked Sarah as the narrator, hence why it took me so long to read. Definitely think this was the worst out of the 3. "
— Mel, 12/11/2013" It was great! I really hope she is writing hannah's story now! "
— Samah, 11/30/2013" This was written in Sarah's point of view, I preferred the other books to this one-I felt like the love story was sort of thrown in, didn't love it, didn't hate it. I still like the series as a whole though. "
— Kimberly, 11/9/2013" It was a good book! Just waiting on the next one. "
— Valeria, 10/11/2013" I have really enjoyed this series, and I really enjoyed this book and seeing things from Sarah's perspective! Even without Sebastian it was good! I can't wait to read the next one, and if my suspicions are correct it might jsut be about Helen!! "
— Janeece, 9/30/2013" I really love how sarah's character gets to really be known in this book. How she feels, and what she wants. She is one of the bravest characters I have ever read about. "
— Quirky, 7/26/2013" loved the hole bring together of the story line and making this book bout Sarah the next book will be just as wonderful as this one i can't wait for it "

— Angela, 5/19/2013" I loved this book!!! Shields knew just when to add that extra pow!! I also thought it was clever how she made a journal about Maria. I thought this was brilliantly plotted!!!! "
— Sarah, 5/17/2013" Good one, but not near as good as the first two. Still reccommend them though :) "
— Emily, 11/17/2012" Very good!!! There better be another one in the series. There was some questions that still need answered! "
— Lacey, 8/31/2012" ok, but it really wasn't as good in Sarah's point of view. "
— Brianna, 4/15/2012" This was a very good series. In a way it gave me a little hope about this strange life we all live in. I really liked it. Sure a few errors but other than that very good. A beautiful twist, on how life really is. "
