In 1899 at Colorado Springs, Colorado, Nikola Tesla is experimenting with one of his inventions when he traps some sort of life-form inside a sphere of ionized glass. In 2012 at Sacramento, California, Dahlia Abrams traps her husband, Ian, in an extramarital affair. On the other side of the labyrinth, Penelope and her nation are attacked by the Nephilim, the race of giants spoken of in the Bible. These stories converge to create an epic tale of love and loss, of deceit and revenge, of life in the hereafter. In the second book of the Witch series, we witness the rebirth of a heroine and the transformation of her shy and seemingly insignificant mother into . . . Black Dahlia.
