Céline and Amelie Fawe can see into anyone’s past and future
simply by touching him. They have used their powers to
secure sanctuary—and a fine apothecary’s shop—in the village
around Castle Sèone. But their continued safety has a price....
Far to the north, the men of an isolated silver mining
community are turning into vicious “beasts” that slaughter
anyone in sight. The mines belong to the noble family of
Prince Anton—ruler of Castle Sèone and Céline and Amelie’s
patron—and Anton’s tyrannical father has ordered his son to
solve the mystery as a test of his leadership. He has no
choice but to send the witches into the perilous north to
use their abilities to discover the cause of the
transformations. Given how much they owe the prince, the
sisters have no choice but to go.
Together with the overprotective Lieutenant Jaromir, Célene
and Amelie enter the dark world of a far-off mining camp
tainted by fear, mistrust, and enslavement—and haunted by
men turning into massive mad wolves without warning. Now the
two must draw upon strength and cunning they never thought
they possessed not only to solve the mystery, but to survive....
