     Selena is in her senior year of high school and discovers a long and involved secret history to her family that she never knew about. . .

     This secret spans centuries and originates in the sixteenth century between Selena's five time great grandmother, Selena Morgana and Anne Boleyn. It was when Anne was about to be beheaded that Selena Morgana met and married her true love, and became the wife of a witch. Through the generations, all of Selena's ancestors refused to marry anybody who did not practice magic, keeping the magical inclinations of her family pure.

     Generations later, when Selena was just a few years old, her parents had a little boy. He was a sickly child, not expected to live, when Dunham, the Head of the Witch's Council steps in and has his own physician cure the child. But there was a condition. Roland had to live with Dunham, grow and learn under Dunham's tutelage. Selena's parents agreed to this, just to have their baby live. But they were betrayed. Dunham saw that Roland bore the mark of the one chosen to aid in his cause of becoming the ruler of all witches, the Master Witch. After Dunham had Roland safely in his care, he planted false evidence against Selena's parents and had them placed in the Dark Obsidian. A place where time does not exist. Here they remain to this day. Yet Selena had not known this. She was just a toddler and was told that her parents had perished in a car accident.

     However, what Dunham didn't count on was Selena. It was true that Roland bore the mark of the chosen one, but his mark was flawed. It was not the perfect mark of the one that would be Dunham's salvation or destruction. It was Selena who bore the true mark. But Dunham did not know that Selena existed, let alone bore the mark that he was in search of.

      When Selena was told this she had no clue that her family history was so involved and complicated. And to discover that she is the one to defeat this enemy of the witch kind, blew her away. Yet she was so happy to hear that her parents lived still and could be saved and to learn that the baby she has dreamt of for so many years was in fact her brother. She set to mind to learn all that she could to save her family.

      But a twist to our story, the day after Selena starts her training, her family's long secret is finally revealed to the town folk, starting with her classmates. She had not intended that the secret come out, but upon discovery of something in her possession by one of her classmates, the story spreads fast and wild through the school and beyond. Not only does Selena have a battle of magical proportions brewing, but now she also has to deal with the mundane battle to defend her family's honor from the people who she had grown up with. New enemies are formed and alliances where she did not expect...
