Cate’s
mother dies, making her promise to take care of her two younger sisters. Cate and her sisters are harboring a
terrible secret—they are witches and if they are found out by the Brotherhood,
they will be sent to an asylum, to a prison to do hard labor, or be put to death. In six months, Cate must come to a decision,
either to marry or to join the Sisterhood. She must announce her decision at
her upcoming Intention Ceremony or else the Brotherhood will choose for
her. Her best friend from childhood,
Paul, returns to court her, but Cate’s attention is fixated on Finn Belastra,
the new gardener. Her mother’s diary
also reveals that she and her sisters may very well be the sisters of a
prophecy predicted to bring great power back to the witches, but also usher in a new time of terror. Cate is faced with heavy decisions. Will she choose between her
two suitors or join the ranks of the Sisterhood? How will she ever find the means to save everyone she loves?
