Zoey, a sixteen-year-old witch, regains consciousness after a run-in with her nemesis, the evil wizard Danger, and discovers that not only does she have all of the memories of her past lives, but also the knowledge that her childhood best friend, Andrew, is Danger’s son. She leaves the scene of the battle with Will, her husband from a previous life who she made immortal, and their two dragon sidekicks, but before they can rest, they learn that Angela, their friend and future teller, is also tied to Andrew and Danger’s fate. Zoey and Will must go on a quest into the Forest of Madrian to steal a magical object that might save Angela’s life, but will they be able to steal it from the creature Krӧte and get back to the cottage on Dreamweaver Road in time?
