At the same time, Vance Township Police Chief Pete Adams races to track down a gun, a mysterious all-terrain vehicle, and the sniper before Zoe goes back on duty, placing herself-and Pete-firmly in the gunman's crosshairs.
"I am NOT a witch!"
Regina Widden stirred restlessly in her bed as she fought to pull herself out of her nightmare…
At last, she opened her eyes and found that she was on a narrow cot in a small cottage. She turned to see a candle in a pewter holder burning on a wooden table beside her.
Suddenly, the door burst open and a young girl rushed in. Regina recognized her friend, Peggy.
"Regina Blake! You must get away from here at once!"
"Where am I?"
"Where else but in your mother's cottage?"
"My mother's cottage? What do you mean, Peggy?"
The other girl gasped and stepped back, "Peggy?" My name is Sarah. If you can forget the name of your dearest friend, then truly the Devil must have taken possession of you!"

Though she looks like a typical California surfer girl, Beka Yancy is in fact a powerful yet inexperienced witch who's struggling with her duties as a Baba Yaga. Luckily, she has her faithful dragon-turned-dog for moral support when she discovers that a mysterious toxin is driving the Selkie and Mer from their homes deep in the trenches of Monterey Bay.

While diving for clues, Beka drives Marcus crazy with her flaky New Age ideas and dazzling blue eyes. She thinks that he's rigid and cranky (and way too attractive). Meanwhile, a charming Selkie prince has plans that include Beka. Only by trusting her powers can Beka save the underwater races, pick the right man, and choose the path she'll follow for the rest of her life.Contains mature themes.

But when she is summoned to find a missing child, Barbara suddenly finds herself caught up in a web of deceit and an unexpected attraction to the charming but frustrating sheriff Liam McClellan.
