Welcome to The Isle... Lily Locke has never believed in witches and wizards, ghosts and magic, shifters and vampires-especially cute blonde vamps with blood-intolerance issues.

When a body turns up dead and the next target is Lily, she must trust her powers and accept the help of her newfound friends. Otherwise, she'll never survive the trials of the magical island tucked far, far away in the frigid waters of Lake Superior. Welcome to The Isle.
