Michelle is getting used to her new life, one with clans, parents, a loving grandmother, and a boyfriend. But her old responsibilities are still around. The police still need her help, and balancing all her obligations is becoming more difficult, but police cases won't wait for anyone, and when the police call, she has to answer.

It starts out like any other case. Suspicious magic has been reported, and the police need Michelle to help them check it out. When it turns out that the magic is deep in the Cohutta Wilderness Area, Michelle asks Elron to accompany her. It isn't long before she's learning just how much she doesn't know about the woods.

When that small problem turns into a really big problem, spells are flying, danger is everywhere, and only one question remains. Will they escape alive?
