Spencer Jacobs's life was ordinary, boring even. Her daily routine never varied, she worked as a full-time nurse and raised her four-year-old daughter, Luci, as a single mother. But her entire world was turned upside down the day she and Luci were attacked by a Berith; the day a mysterious, handsome stranger rescued them, transporting them from the safety and seclusion of southeast Texas to New Orleans. Spencer's true identity, which had been hidden from her since birth, had been revealed, and her life would never be boring again. She found herself cast into the underground world of the Children of the Craft, true witches who must live in secrecy, and in a world where anything was possible and secrets had been kept since the Mayflower pilgrims had arrived generations ago. Spencer was a Mayflower descendant, and she had to accept her responsibility as Keeper of the vessel. She, along with her Watcher, Donovan Chambers, had to find the lost vessel, which contained the Pilgrim's Blood, to ensure the survival of their families as well as their coven. Failure was not an option, and their quest was made even more difficult by the Berith Society. Spencer had to embrace her true self and accept not only her birthright, but her destiny as well. The lost vessel had to be found. Her very life, along with that of her daughter, depended on it.
