Natalie Johnston always felt out of place in the world. Being different never seemed to throw things out of symmetry until a reoccurring nightmare of burning at the stake has her feeling unsettled. Just when fear and uncertainty begin to take their toll, she meets Xavier; a mysterious and handsome stranger who recognizes an heirloom pendant she's worn since childhood. His touch releases memories it possesses of a witch from another time whom he claims to be his deceased wife. Next thing Natalie knows, demons from Xavier's world are lurking around every corner to kill her. Placing her under his protection, he insists she can help bring his wife back. Pleading with her to try, he promises the hunting will stop if she succeeds. When her many attempts fail, her life begins to crumble as strange new instincts bring out a darker side, and she realizes the memories come from someone she knows to be a blood thirsty version of herself.
