Katrina Summer finally comes to terms with her enchanted skin as she is challenged with an evil that threatens the Solstice settlement of Apollo Beach . . . At a private gathering on Summer Island, Kat meets an entire secret society of Enchanters–and other mythological descendants of a different breed. The gorgeous Valli sisters appear, forcing Kat to take a deeper look into her new existence. And when Arabella, the youngest of the sisters, befriends her, Kat learns the most disturbing Summer family secret of all . . . To escape the lurking dangers of the Equinox, which brings outrage and heartbreak to the entire town, Kat accepts a job at the Island Grille where her handsome, yet brooding co-worker, Johnny, makes life even more challenging. Meanwhile, Kat struggles between her lingering and undeniable attraction for Alec, the secrets that she is forced to keep from him, and a betrayal that sends them on separate paths. Mysterious deaths, signs of pollution rising in the bay, and discoveries of the Equinox's motives stir up an entirely new and frightening adventure. Kat discovers that being an Enchanter holds a responsibility that might just be worth killing for . . .

I run down the length of the coast and across the community beach. I tear down the dimly lit streets until I reach the other side of town. I’ve never seen the north side of Apollo Beach before. There’s been no reason to go this way. Even Alec always turned right
on a spot in the corner of the room. “Can you help me with one last thing?” His question is a get out of jail free card so I take it with a nod. I don’t think I’m able to form a proper sentence quite yet but my feet manage to carry me to the couch where he’s flipping through some sheets of paper. I take a seat next to him, making sure there’s a sufficient amount of space between us. “I have some menu options for the food stands we’re setting up at the carnival. Can you go over them with me?
my bike again, pedaling fast over the bridge that leads to Summer Island, the community center my grandparents founded and named after themselves. It’s all a bit pretentious, but I try not to let my name embarrass me. I suppose it’s not an awful thing to be part of the Summer family’s legacy. I haven’t returned to Summer Island since my first week in Apollo Beach. Charlotte brought me here for lunch one day and I remember the awe that came over me the first time I entered the private grounds. It
Arabella asks. I meet her eyes and nod. “I had to get away. I found some sea sprinkle at the bottom of the bay and didn’t look back.” “You didn’t answer my question.” Rose stomps her foot and I look up at her. “Johnny had it.” I stare down at the pendant that Arabella holds now. “He’s the one who ripped it from my neck on the Fourth of July.” Arabella hands the pendant back to me. “Where is Johnny now?” Her expression is panicked.
