Suspicion falls on the Witchlings, including Seven Salazar, who struggles with a secret: her magic connects her to monstrous voices. As the danger grows, Seven must mend her broken magic and uncover the truth before Thorn becomes the next victim. Will they solve the mystery in time, or will the sinister forces prevail?
