Exorcist Sera Madden was trained by the most powerful people in her field. Her family saw to it that those people had been on the side of the Dark, and that Sera knew the price of not following the rules. But when the time came to finally break free, Sera took it, and in the process sent several of her immediate family to prison...and learned that she is a reincarnated spirit. Now, she lives in the one town that her family will not go. The town that paid a heavy price the last time her family lived there.

Whispering Falls, Vermont has slowly started to thaw to Sera, thanks to her standing up to her family. When she is offered an olive branch by the local paranormal detectives, she immediately takes it, pleased to be able to use her gift to help rather than hurt. The case involves a woman who has a dark entity attached to her, and when Sera reads the woman with her gift she finds that the woman is a reincarnated spirit with a connection to the entity that spans centuries. But as Sera digs deeper into the mystery, she realizes the woman is not the only one with a connection to the dark being.
