On the eve of fair midsummer,
Longest day and shortest night,
Faerie magic, fill these woods,
With joyous song and laughter bright.
Midsummer's eve finds Kate, Annie, and Cooper celebrating the most joyous sabbat with nature — and a few not unwelcome strangers. Dressed in handcrafted costumes, the young witches step into a pine grove alive with music and masquerade.
Separated before the midnight dance begins, each girl is drawn into a private trial. Cooper pursues an elusive flute melody to an underground test, while Annie is drafted as squire to the regal Oak King before his yearly duel.
Kate trails a masked raven into Queen Maeve's court, only to confront an earthly romance she thought she had left behind. On a night when identities and emotions become tangled and confused under the strange solstice sky, one will be led astray.
