Ethan Waite thought he was already accustomed to the strange, incredible events taking place in Gatlin, his small southern town. But now that Lena and Ethan have returned home, the strange and incredible has taken on a new meaning. Swarms of locusts, record-breaking heat and devastating storms strike Gatlin as Ethan and Lena try to understand the impact of Len's Calling. Even Lenin's family of powerful magicians came under the influence - their abilities began to misfire dangerously. As time passes, one question becomes clear: what—or who—must be sacrificed to save Gatlin? For Ethan, chaos is a frightening but welcome distraction. He is haunted in his dreams again, but this time it is not Lena, and whatever is haunting him in his dreams, it goes beyond the boundaries of the dream and penetrates into his real life. Even worse, Ethan seems to lose parts of himself, he forgets names, phone numbers, even events. He doesn't know why, but he's afraid to ask. Sometimes there isn't one answer or one option. Sometimes it is impossible to return everything. And this time there is no happy ending in sight.
