Everything usually starts small. Draw a circle... put a dried leaf in the center of it... sprinkle salt around it... read a small spell in Latin... add a drop of your own blood... Well, perhaps the last point is simply not for everyone. But not Cilla Kennicott. She is ready to do anything to uncover the truth about her family, even try a few spells from a mysterious book that turned up one day on her doorstep. And shed your own blood. But any step entails a series of events. Nick Purdy, a new neighbor, saw Cilla performing a ceremony one day and wanted to take part in it. The more time they spend together, the more clearly Silla understands that Nick is somehow connected with blood magic... and also that she can no longer live without him. How he cannot ignore the dark presence of something inevitable nearby - something that wants to return the book and receive all its power.
