Eli's doing her best to run Nine Lives Investigations, keep the local witch clans happy as the new Mistress of Seers, and navigate her newfound closeness with Dan. Although, she's not really leading anything, and truth be told she's fine with the supernatural community looking after itself. What's not fine is that she and Tessa have been tracking Nathaniel Beauclaire for months, only to hit one dead end after another. When bleeding hearts start popping up all over town-out of season, mind you-Eli wonders what the universe is trying to tell her. Before she can figure out what the plants mean, someone threatens the clan elders, a group of (lame) ghost hunters begin dogging her every move, and she and Dan are attacked by a demon. Worst of all, each and every clue points toward Eli's ex, Amir, a power-mad seer she hasn't seen in years and never wants to see again, as the mastermind behind every piece of bad news. When Amir's ultimate goal becomes known, Eli hatches a mad plan to stop him for good-then a family secret comes out which could derail everything, including her newfound leadership of the seers. Will she fight for the title she never wanted, or will Amir take everything from her yet again? Eli never wanted to lead the seers, but she's sure as hell not going down without a fight.

Eli and Dan go home for the holidays and run afoul of a winter deity who's been holding a grudge against Dan's family. That's going to put a damper on their Christmas spirit. Eliza "e;Eli"e; Moore has embraced her quiet life with Dan, her husband and partner in their detective agency, Nine Lives Investigations. When Dan took Eli to New York so they could spend the holidays with his family, she expected a week of home-cooked meals and ugly Christmas sweaters. Instead, she discovered a spirit trapped in Dan's family home, a seer brewing up batches of poison in the basement, and that Dan's family had been cursed by a batch of enchanted mistletoe. As Eli and Dan search for a way to end the curse, they visit the farm where the mistletoe originated. Once there, they find the farm steeped in magic, and a proprietor that seems a little too interested in Dan's family. When Eli learns the proprietor is actually a demon that froze his daughter to death, she vows to stop him, even if it means she gets frozen, too. And Eli hates being cold.
