    Celtic mythology like you've never seen before. And a battle to save us all. Magically bound and separated from birth, sisters Lily, Evelyn, and Sara are reunited in the rolling hills of Ireland to save Earth as we know it. Their opponents? The fata—otherworldly magical beings whose abilities far surpass any supernatural on earth.  That is until the sisters can master their magic. With their magic restored, the sisters must fulfill an ancient prophecy lost during the fire of the Library of Alexandria. If they don’t all of humanity will be enslaved. The sisters’ varied pasts create friction but they work to find common ground, master their magic, trust their estranged birth family, and fight together.  Even after Lily’s adoptive family survives a tragedy, and heiress Evelyn undergoes a trial of her own, it seems as though they are strong. That nothing worse can happen.  But when one rises the other falls, and occult academic Sara is forced to face her demons. With help from their family, new love interests, and unexpected links from souls long lost, the sisters push the limits of magic and bring together a culture of supernaturals—a supernatural army—like the world has never seen.
