Eleanor Sorenden has shattered the cycle of history—but the cost of breaking fate is heavier than she ever imagined. As Margaret's power fully merges with her own, she finds herself standing at the precipice of a world unraveling. The Order's grip on Aria is slipping, but something darker has taken its place—a force that has waited centuries to rise, feeding off the remnants of Salem's sins and the fear of the present.

With the city fracturing under waves of hysteria, murders, and strange possessions, Eleanor, Jonas, and their allies must uncover the truth hidden within the ancient texts of the Circle of the Veil. But knowledge alone won't be enough—Eleanor's body and soul bear the scars of every choice she's made, and the line between herself and Margaret is blurring. If she gives in, she might lose herself entirely. If she resists, she might doom them all.

As the final battle looms, Eleanor must decide what it truly means to be a witch—not just in power, but in purpose. Will she wield Margaret's legacy to protect the future, or will she become the very thing she once fought against?

The Ashen Veil is thinning, and what lurks beyond it is ready to consume everything.
