Her life almost fell apart, and Brigida found her place: away from the village, away from her mothers. The family's grimoire said that the forest should not be allowed to awaken, and in her new place she accepted this responsibility. And although she remembers the new Lord Rubin, she almost lost everything, so she is not ready to take risks again. Only a terrible cult appears... Caspian did not want to rule, but with the death of his father he has no choice but to become a lord. Tensions between the village and the witches rise, and trust between him and his subjects weakens. Caspian can't help but want it all taken away from him... And then a familiar face from the past appears. With blood and demons, a cult arrives, wanting to drive the witches out of Ruby, and they won't stop until Brigida and her mothers are dead. The demons are getting closer, the forest may be about to wake up, and the cult, with its cruelty, can destroy not only the Ruby, but everything else. Brigida and Caspian are separated and without allies, will they be able to suppress the darkness of the cult, or will they, their people and lands drown in blood?
