It's a match made in the stacks — until the would-be lovers take a quiet countryside stroll, and shots ring out.A murderer, not magick, made Stephen disappear — and Ophelia might be next.

A sinister stalker is slowly drawing closer to Ophelia, and she'll have to summon all her powers to prevent herself from ending up six feet under.
