When Gitta Nettle was a child, she and her sister Hildie were sent to live with their enigmatic Grandmother Nettle on her herb farm deep in the forest, steeped in old magick. Their days were filled with creekside play, riding their paint ponies, Pluto and Venus, to school, and weekends learning “The Practice” — a mystical tradition passed down through generations. Gitta’s psychic abilities grew swiftly. By seventeen, she was decoding ancient prophecies and solving esoteric mysteries through her vivid dreams. Her gifts caught the attention of the Eastern StarSchool of Magick & Mysticism, a Mystery School for the world’s most powerful practitioners. Gitta became the youngest ever to be accepted—and soon, their most promising initiate. Now, ten years later, Gitta has been called to ascend as the new High Priestess. But first, she must survive The Initiation: a supernatural trial requiring her to astrally project into 12 Haunted Locations, each more terrifying than the last. She has 12 hours to solve each Haunting… or be trapped within the spirit realm forever. But on the eve of her trial, a mysterious stranger appears in her dreams. Who is he?What does he want?How does he know Gitta?Will he help her solve the Hauntings?… or doom her for eternity?
