Born a witch and adopted by a powerful coven, Melina Camp has an unenviable family life of being loved by one but not by all. After the celebration of the Renewal Moon, Melina's life is further turned upside down by a curse descending on her family. Seeking help, she turns to the Immortal Death, her mentor in magic. Together they seek the Immortal of Knowledge, the Melasan, who may hold the answers to bringing Melina's family back to life. With the Melasan, they come face to face with a greater problem as someone seeks the Kumon, the book of Immortals. Melina is faced with the choice: Find the Kumon and save the Immortal she loves or break the curse and return her family to life. As with all things, the choice is hardly cut and dry.
