Elizabeth "Liz" Johnson grew up in Elizabethton, Tennessee with her four friends Cassie, Erika, Ben, and Jacob. They had all been friends forever, but Erika joined their small group around middle school. Liz and Ben were very close since Liz's parents took Ben and his sister Kayla in when they were teenagers. Ben's parents were never around, which only got worse over the years. Liz and Ben eventually started dating in College, and dated the entire four years. Cassie was currently single, although she had the occasional boyfriend. Her relationships never would last long because she was definitely a handful. Erika was the same way until college when she and Jacob realized that they were made for each other. Liz started the business of her dreams after college, which was a clothing design company called Liz and Friends Designs. Cassie was the head administrator over the local hospital, Erika was a model for a well-known agency, Ben owned an auto repair shop, and Jacob was still playing football for the college until the season was over. The group was now 28 and were ready to start their adult lives. Liz loved where her life was headed despite the recent breakup with Ben. They had been separated for three months and Liz was not having an easy time getting over him. She drowned herself in work and her friends. She had not even went on any dates since the breakup. After a surprise meet up with Ben, after they had not spoken in three months, Liz has much to think about and decisions to be made. She does not know what to do about the Ben situation. While pondering the situation in solitude at a local park, she meets a sexy stranger. The strangers name is Cristian and she later finds out that he is also an entrepreneur and quite wealthy. What she doesn't know is that Cristian is hiding more than your typical businessman. Strange things start happening to Liz and her friends and Liz finds out some shocking news about her ancestors and herself after being kidnapped. Liz was a Fae, but not just any Fae. Her particular lineage carried an unusual secret. Liz is destined to save the supernatural world and restore magic to Earth as she was written into a prophecy many centuries before she was even thought of. The prophecy says that Liz will be the only one of her kind and she will be the only one to change the events that have been set into motion. It was written that the witch, Ravyn Snow, would seek revenge on the Fae and after 2,000 years she would be powerful enough to cross to the Fae realm and destroy them. The Fae had been absent from Earth for centuries. They had fled to their realm because vampires were about to eradicate them. Vampires could not resist Fae blood. Since the Fae were gone and so was their magic, all supernatural creatures could feel their powers dwindling and changing. Eventually, supernatural creatures would not have any magic and would simply be kind of immortals. Most supernatural beings did not want this. The vampires had been looking for Liz ever since they learned of the prophecy, and they had found her. Without the help of her friends, Liz would be lost now that her world has been turned upside down. Everything she knew to be imaginary was real. Her entire life was a lie. The world seemed to be against her. She had everything she wanted, and now she finds out that she's supposed to save the supernatural world. She just wants to get on with her normal life. She doesn't want what has just been revealed to her to be her destiny. In order to get back to that life, she is determined to follow this journey to the end even if it means her death. Will the friends be able to reveal their secrets to each other? Will Liz accept her fate? Can they trust Cristian?
